I have had an email exchange with John Bushby who makes the Shearwater whistles, asking the exact same question. He confirmed that he is happy to make low whistles with offset lower holes to suit left-handers such as myself, so it should be no problem.lassoftheisland wrote:...but now that I'm looking at the Shearwaters, it looks like the holes are set specifically for right hand on bottom...and I play with my right hand on top.It's the way I first learned and there's no going back for me now! It's quite unfortunate, because they look like really nice whistles, for the price, too.

So come on, I'm the whistler.
I have a fife and a drum to play.
Get ready for the whistler.
