"I just received my Rosewood High D Whistle and it is FANTASTIC! The tone is smooth and pure throughout its entire range and it is a very lovely instrument. Thank you so very much, this is so much better than any other whistle I've ever played"

Our new high D whistles in solid rosewood and blackwood, to replace our laminated wood whistles, are now ready. The two brass rings reinforce the socket and the foot end; the O-rings are for tuning. The joint is sealed with internal cork.
A “TRIO” is a three-piece set containing one body, one whistle head and one fife head. With this set, you can play either way.

WD Sweet Model Pennywhistles in Plastic!
Pennywhistle (top), Fife (bottom)
Our best pennywhistle is now available, machined in black plastic. Developed over several months, these new whistles take the old proven design of the Pro to a new level of playability, with the easy care and durability of a polymer. As always, the response is balanced, transitions are smooth and stable, and the tone is quite resonant. There’s good “chiff” for that classic pennywhistle sound.
