Have a great Low D and want to stay with the lows - just not sure which key I want next. Play with a group that plays a lot of D and G and some C and E flat . The group singers all sing low so they transpose a lot.
Thanks,
Jim
Which low (keys please..not makes) whistles do you own?

D, G, Bb. I got the G and Bb this month. The Bb seems to fit my hand the best. The low D is a stretch to seal the bell note, though with much practice I am getting more consistent with it. The low G wants to go into the upper register, but again it is brand new to me, so this will go away with practice. I play mostly original material solo.

C, D, E, F, and G. I don't play the C at all, don't play the F much. The C is just too unwieldy, and F isn't a key I care for (nor is Eflat, which is why I don't even own a low Eflat).

G seems to be the next most popular key after low D. -I play each key as though it's just a d whistle so the music is accordingly lower but I'm ignoring the fact that I'm actually playing different notes than the music calls for. I think Alisdar Frazier plays viola this way as do other some other 'viola fiddlers.' -Actually the relationship between the D whistle and the violin corresponds to that of the low G whistle and the viola. So if I play a whistle tune on a G whistle (as if it's just a d whistle) I can pick up a viola and do the same thing with that tune on that and it will fit the G whistle.

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
Low C I got this whistle to play songs in the Key of D with my wife on her Bb Clarinet.
Low D My first whistle and the standard, certainly for obvious reasons.
Low F, Low G
Low A Second major key is D.
