It looks neat but I would think it would be hard as the dickens to hold steady.

I own a low D by this whistlemaker.
It sounds pretty but soft, is well in tune with itself, quite easy to play.
Only : it's in plastic and primitively handmade, and that you can tell when you look to it closer.
The metal fittings Walden likes so much, well that's just a strip of silverlooking tape.
But as I said, it's nice to play. Not to own as your only low whistle, but as an extra for soft slow airs maybe, or for newbees if they can buy it cheap (I think he only sells whistles on ebay).
I have a chieftain, howard and overton low D, but can't compare it to any of them.
Cheers

Yes and it was awful for me. I sold mine back on ebay straight away. Never again. They are sort of plastic tubing not like the stuff susato and Tony Dixon use.
