Hi,
I am looking to buy an alto G whistle. My current favourite whistle is an Impempe Bb and I would purchase an Impempe G, but they are unavailable and unlikely to be made in the future. What I like about the Impempe is that you can really ‘lean into it’ it is perfectly in tune and quite pure sounding.
The only Gs I can see available here in the UK are Dixon and Alba.
Does anyone have any other experience / recommendations? Price up to £100
cheers,

Low G whistle, what to try next?
My own line of thinking about this ended up with the fact that the G is only a note and a half lower than the Bb and if one has a nice Bb (I really like my Freeman Tweaked Generation Bb) then is it worth it to spend a fortune on a G? For me I don’t play in sessions so my playing is just at home and that gives me the luxury to play in any key. So for now I have decided no and I play my Guido Alto G which is actually quite nice and inexpensive. I’m afraid a Dixon wouldn’t be much of an improvement (if any) and the next step up would be a whistle costing over 200 euros.
This is just my line of thinking. for me I think the G will either be Guido price, Dixon price, or high end price (over 200 euros). I haven’t found much in between the Dixon & high end price ranges. I figure once I have more experience on the whistles I have, I will be able to justify a high end G, if it’s even necessary.
Try making your own Guido design! Playing music on an instrument you made yourself is one of the most satisfying things you can imagine.
Chuck Tilbury is going to make me an A and a G whistle. Chuck makes a mighty fine whistle. You might consider his as well.
I’d second the Guido Gonzato choice. Either buy one or make your own. I bought a low D from Guido as a visual sample and was able to make a very decent G from his plans. I’d sell it to you but I’m kind of proud of it. It’s the only whistle I’ve ever made.
Jerry Freeman makes a pretty nice A tube that works well on his tweaked Gen head. Somebody 
could encourage him to stretch that one into a G!

Sorry I would love to help, but my favorite G whistles are the Reviol and Bleazey. Two very different instruments, but each are excellent in their own way. Unfortunately, you would have to part with a bit more money.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
The Guido whistles look interesting. The look like they are worth a punt…condsidering their cost.
I am also half tempted to give it a go myself.
I like my Susato G:

Cheap, available*, waterproof for playing in the bath. It even sounds pretty good. 
That’s how I like my women too. 
Can you get them at Big Whistle in the UK?
Best wishes.
