Which other low keys do you want(have)?
Between high and low D(or lower), what would you like, or have already, and why?
Couldn't figure out how to put this in a poll form, so you could select more than one!

F is usually a nice key for whistles, not too large, nice sound.
G is useful for playing stuff in the key of C

- Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

Well, going down, I have C, Bb, A, G, F, Eb, C. I'll get around to filling in most of the missing keys sooner or later.
Why? Well, I play whistle in lots of musical contexts including the backing of vocalists. I could find myself requiring a whistle in absolutely any key. Here I cover all of the more common keys except E. I have a high E but not a low E. Fairly soon I hope to have added Db, B and Ab. In the keys I already have, I usually have several whistles. As I add unusual keys, I'm unlikely to get more than one for each.

If you play in a band with a vocalist it's always handy to have all available keys.
A common mistake in bands is trying to dictate the key to the singer. The overall sound of the band is often diminished by this.
Sometimes even a small thing like a semi-tone can make a huge difference to a singer.

- Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.
