… if you slide the mouthpiece hood and fipple back about .5mm past where they would be flush with the end of the whistle. It is a hardly noticeable change but makes a big difference with the low range. This is one of the main advantages with these whistles, the tone can be customized to be breathy or clean and one can favor the high range or low as required.

I’m a fan of moving the fipple to suit the player’s preference. Have you noticed any effect on the tuning? Moving the fipple away from the lip (increasing the length of the window) raises the pitch of all notes slightly, but I don’t think the change is enough to be noticeable.

The fipple doesn’t actually move, and the length of the windway doesn’t change either, so there isn’t much effect on pitch… it’s more like “focusing” than “tuning”.

Hi,

Yesterday, I got my Domnahl na Gruen Low D whistle. Although I didn’t had much time to really play it, I can only say it looks and sounds even beter than I expected. As I have small hands, the off set tone holes are (for me) a delight to play without much stretch.
The sound is really nice and pure, and doesn’t require to much air. Second octave is easy to reach and maintain.
This is my first Low D whistle and I already love it. I surely would recommend Domnahl’s whistle to somebody starting to play the Low D and doesn’t want to spend to much money (£60,00 + shipping).
