OK guys,as I don't use a low D in sessions,I have been asked what is the loudest low D for session players,I know that Overton and Chieftains are quite loud but are there others that are louder?
We are talking pure volume!.

Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)

I asked the same question recently and din't get much resopnse...maybe more people will chime in now.
MK (
www.jazzwhistle.com ) is one a couple of people mentioned to me.
Have you played this brand before Phil? Sounds promising but I emailed for more info and haven't received a reply yet.

Tell us something.: Of course I'm not a bot; I've been here for years... Apparently that isn't enough to pass muster though!

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.

Loudest low d I have had that I can remember was my Copeland.

I played someone else's Copeland (I'd get one if I hadn't ordered a full set of pipes), and that was pretty loud. Not as loud as my Chieftain, and definitely louder than my Burke.

My Reyburn Wide Bore Low D is louder than the Chieftain NR (Takes more puff to).
