Generation B natural?

Question. Do Generation make a B natural whistle in either brass or nickel or is this key only available in Jerry Freeman's tweaked versions? Many thanks.

WTB: Goldie Small-Bore Low D whistle

I would be interested in buying a Goldie Small-Bore Low D, a soft-medium or medium blower in good condition with a seller preferably in the UK, like me, though I will consider sellers elsewhere.

WTB: Humphrey (Journeyman or Stealth) Trad High D

I would like to buy a Humphrey Trad High D, either a Journeyman or Stealth, in good condition. I live in the UK so would prefer the seller to come from there though I am open to it coming from the USA or Europe.

WTB: Setanta Low Whistle

I would like to buy a Setanta low whistle, preferably a low D but I would also consider a low E or Eb. I live in Scotland but will buy from abroad too. Thank you.

Re: High Ds with minimal impact on lungs/chest

So I ordered a High D from Cillian O'Brian and he looked out one with minimal air requirements for me. I received it today and am delighted with it. I'd read that good breath control and experience were necessary to play one but I have had no problems. The first octave requires barely more than a br...

Re: High Ds with minimal impact on lungs/chest
