All low, all the time. From a low G down to a Bass A, and working with a Bingamon D Basswhistle (1 octave below a low D), I stay at the bottom end of the whistle world. I do play the higher ones, but the type of music I'm most into calls for the lower voices.

Thats all I play although I do play several soprano's. I focus most of my playing on my Chieftain Gold Low F, but do have Chieftain Lows in A, Bb,D,Eb,G.

I play a lot of low, but usually whatever suits the tune I'm playing at the time. Sometimes a low(er) whistle will spice up a tune I've always played on my high D even more than trying to vary the bejesus out of it (I do think though that my new high D I just got is the finest I've ever played and have indeed been playing it a lot lately!). In short, whatever suits the music - exploring different keys, especially what would be considered 'exotic' in the IrTrad world, is a lot of fun!

Never owned one..always been into GenD,Eb and F.
Reels,Jigs and Hornpipes. Up high,dipping and swooping around the place.Great.
Ebs a great key for airs.
Always felt that for all the Soul in Low Whistles,there's no Spirit.

Since I'm learning new tunes and improving old ones with my teacher, I almost exclusively play a soprano D, and almost exclusively my Burke black tip. Maybe once a week I'll pick up the Burke Viper Low D and my Copeland G (just to hear that inspirational voice).
