That is very subjective. I will post links to sites with these whsitles for sale at the bottom. If you want quiet, sweet, and pure a Dixon is a good choice if you want that with more volume and are willing to spend a bit more check out Burkes, but if you want to spend less than that check out GFM Whistles. If you want the traditional tone and chiff look into Sindts, Black Diamonds, or Humphreys I own two of the three and am very happy with them Black Diamonds are the cheapest and are available right now, where as the other two are a bit more expensive and have a waiting list (Humphrey is a couple weeks, Sindt is about a year). If you want loud, powerful, and one that needs lots of push check out Overtons, Chieftians, or Albas. If you want wood Rose (like a Burke), Bleazey (like an Overton), Busman (usually a mid volume warm tone), Sweets (pure and loud), Weston (quiet and sweet, Greenwood (warm yet strong), and Abells (Sweet with some volume)
A funny thing happened at Christmas; SO said she wanted a Susato D to go with the Susato C I'd already given her, then turned it down and traded it in for a wooden one, bought by post through Hobgoblin.
At first it seemed to have a very shrill and unpleasant top end of the second octave, but it seems to be mellowing in, despite my prognostications of the dangers of not trying before you're buying.
You find your own moral in that, apart from not believing loved ones when they say what they want.
You bastads, indiscriminately posting links to whistle purchasing sites like that! You know that this site is frequented by people with problems. There goes my paycheck. Will have to sell the kids for scientific experimentation now.
hooray, tulloch, send him in the direction of a TRUE tin whistle!
Also, Lark in the Morning and Hobgoblin music (don't have web addresses handy, but a quick google search should locate them), both have lots of different whistles to choose from.

Re: Tinwhistles...help
Dixon's tuneable polymer high D is the best bet. It's plastic and cheap, but as sweet as any expensive metal one.

Re: Tinwhistles...help
And at least with a tinwhistle, you don't have to worry about mold, like you apparently do with bodhrans (see recent thread)!
