Padded Case
Heavily padded Nylon with Velcro
Padded Low Whistle Case - $39
The new “Resonance” Model Pennywhistle finally combines
traditional whistling with that classic, wooden-flute tone that’s
rich in harmonics. For the best performance, it has a conical bore
and undercut finger holes. The windway is curved to reduce clogging..
Holes #3 and #6 are offset to shorten the reach and make this whistle
more comfortable to hold than most other whistles. A=440, great intonation
with good resonance to low D, while being gentle and clear in the
2nd register. Medium-sized holes, laser engraving, internal cork
at the joint, and adjustable thumb rest. Two years in the making,
designed by Walt Sweet.
Perfect for Irish Music. Suitable for beginner and expert alike.
Blackwood models are now in stock. Rosewood models
may have a waiting list. Has a beautiful, long-lasting,
low-maintenance finish (like its little brother, the Professional
Model Pennywhistle in High D).
In the future, we plan to offer a “Sideblowing Adaptor”:
Made of PVC, it slips on/off the end of the whistle head so you can
play the instrument while holding it as a flute. This position shortens
the effective reach for even greater comfort.
Left-hand or zero-offset fingerholes are available on special order.
Top: Original 'Easy Reach'
Bottom: Piper's Grip
NEW! "Piper's Grip" model for players already using this grip on flutes and whistles.
All holes are in a straight line, and the last hole is placed farther down the tube, at the same time increasing its size so that the low E note is stronger and clearer.
The original "Easy Reach" model has the 3rd and 6th holes offset, and the last hole brought up farther so that people with small hands can easily play it. |
