Tell us something.: I am a whistle player, primarily traditional Irish tunes, but also play with singers and other instrumentalists in various contexts. I also play flute and uilleann pipes, which is what led me to the whistle.

Low C Whistle options?

Post by tvoiles »

Does anybody have knowledge of/opinions on options for low C whistles? I have seen the Howard, Nightingale, Karavaev, Chris Wall, Kakapo, etc.

I've not played the ones you list.

I've owned Low Cs by Susato, Reviol, Reyburn, Alba, and Goldie.

They were all good but my favourite has been the Goldie.

There's a Chieftain on Ebay now, not sure if it's a good price, I don't know what a Low C Chieftain would be today.
