I would have liked it even more if it had a slightly narrower bore...I feel that way about all the low D whistles I've tried.
Yes it's a tricky compromise with Low D's.
What I want to try is a Colin Goldie narrow bore Low D. It might be the perfect Low D for narrow-bore fans like us.

In that case, I'll try 22mm as well (which can also be built on a standard size pipe) and focus on getting both 20mm and 22mm up to the best quality I can, then I'll be able to explore sizes in between later and try to evolve them towards an ideal. Thanks Paddler and Tunborough for the helpful information.

I'm looking for a Low D brass whistle
I share your affection for brass whistles and am also amazed we don’t see more of them. You might ask Phil Hardy (chieftain/Kerry). I know he made a few Low Ds with aluminum head and brass tube.
I have one of his Chieftain Gold Low D whistles. I solved the weight problem by clipping a thumb rest on it. Good luck in your quest.
