Re: Reviol Low D whistle?
Gentleman, I have owned a Reviol Low D with the Low C tube for over a year. Got them from a chap in Australia. The black anodized is beautiful and makes holding and covering holes a delight. The sound is wonderful, with the Low C growling like an Overton, I love the backpressure and it is less than ...

Total Agreement
I have enjoyed mine as well, and I have the low C body which is a stretch but just as fine. The air vibration of the bell note is so lovely. I go into empty rooms just to play it and hear the sound. I love the black finish, it feels wonderful to the touch. Very glad I made this purchase of C & F...

I Own a Brass Hoover
I took delivery on a lovely brass Hoover last month. I saw a dude named
Fluting Spirit playing one on Youtube and was blown away by the silky sound.
It is very reasonably priced, Check in out.

A pleasure to own
Pastor Keith, I purchased a Low D Reviol with a Low C tube from someone on this board about six months ago. It replaced a Dixon Aluminum which I sold. The Reviol is black anodized and feels great in my hands. The tuning slide is cork covered which needs to be treated like a clarinet but slides and s...

Wicked Whistle
I bought a low F, which is easy to finger, and well made in a unique kind of way for the price.
The windway produces a good sound, but for me, is very breathy.
I still think it a good starter instrument.

Your Low D
I think my recently purchased Reviol Low D has all those qualities, and it seems easy to play, and its beautiful to look at and to hold. I push the bell note and hear a rolling reverb that gets loud. The upper register is really pure.

Practice, Practice, Practice
Dear Newbie, I have been playing low D whistles for six months. All I can say is that if you keep at it, it will happen for you. Just play scales from top down, making sure you are covering each hole. Try minimal adjustments to the angle or place on your fingers you use to cover each hole. Put the i...

Low F
Dear Tucson, Having owned a Dixon Low D, and now a Reviol Low D, and having purchased a WhistleSmith Low F several months ago, my comment would have to be related to its breathy sound. Although I enjoy playing it from time to time and think it a very good value, it has the most breathy, windy sound ...

Thank You
My already high estimation of the skill of whistlemaking is higher now knowing you struggle with these dynamics. Einstiens question has been answered in my estimation, yes, God had design limits suited to the fragility and the uniqueness of His creatures. Honored to hear from you on this site. Don i...
