Tell us something.: May 2022, I'm a second-time beginner to the whistle and low whistle after a three-year gap due to a chest injury brought to an end twelve years of playing. I've started on a high whistle and much is coming back quickly but it will be a while before I can manage a Low D again where my interest really lies. I chiefly love slow airs rather than dance tunes and am a fan of the likes of Davy Spillane, Eoin Duignan, Fred Morrison and Paddy Keenan.

Thanks. I did think about that as a possibility but would probably prefer the Shush. I wrote to Big Whistle and they responded that the Shush was probably the only whistle that fit my requirements. But I may hold off on buying a high D for a week. It now looks like, due to a kind individual, by the end of next week I will have a narrow-bore Low D with low back pressure and minimal air requirements!! If that proves too much for now, then it looks like something like a Shush is the way forward.
