Tell us something.: I have played bagpipes for several years. Open heart surgery in 2014 took me out for several months and I have not yet returned. I have begun to pursue the penny whistle instead. I'm looking for advice and friends in this new instrument.

They are very nice whistles made in Korea. The hardwood head is beautifully made and the aluminum tone body shows excellent workmanship. Tuning is done with several O rings fitted into slots, and the whistles come with lots of free spare O rings and grease. There is also the option of using teflon tape if that is your preference. They have a medium volume with a clear, sweet tone, no chiff. Air requirement is on the light/medium side and they are also very responsive. Octave change is very smooth. Anak has a lot of Facebook and YouTube posts. Delivery runs about 3 weeks from my experience.
