Hello!
Anyone has tried a dixon alloy High Bb? I’d like to know if that key is lower or higher than C high (lower I guess)… what about the piccolo head, is there anyway of buying separately from the whistle? I suppose that the alloy sound is weaker than brass, isn’t it? I’m looking for a quiet sound… I need you whistlers! 
I tried to contact with Tony Dixon but I have no reply.. someone knows how to contact him? Thanx in advance.

It does not look like he makes the key Bb but if you ask he may be willing to make a one of.

Hi Arka,
I have a Dixon Alloy Bb (ABS head, Aluminum body, & Brass tuning slide). I also have the Alloy C & D. The Bb is lower than the C, has a soft smooth tone and is quite nice is all respects. I don’t believe he is making a flute head for the brass tuning slide whistles yet. The only place I was able to find it in the U.S. was Hobgoblin. They are in the U.S. and UK, but I’m sure other sources might have them by now.

thanks both. I have ordered a Bb in Hobgoblin UK 
The brass is a softer sound than the alloy IMHO and certainly a lot heavier weight wise. I have a brass C and alloy D that provide that comparison. I spoke to Tony Dixon (name dropping 
) on Friday, who said that he had been asked for Bb brass, but thought it would be too heavy (I agree), but is now working on a session D (which I for one will snap up as I find all the high whistles a littie quiet for sessions). I’v just ordered an alto tuneable flute and with some advice from Tony, should be able to use my F whistle head to make a low D whistle. I contacted him from his number on.
Great! I suggested him to make a Session Dixon a few months ago… they’re very nice whistles, I love the tone and resposiveness. I hope he’ll make the D hole a bit bigger to have a loder belltone.
