Hi! I’m listening John Wynnes’s “With Every Breath” album and I wonder what kind of whistle is he playing in the 7th track (Gan Ainm - Up And About In The Morning), it sounds to me like a Burke because of its pure sound but I’m not sure..
Thanks!
Best to ask John himself http://www.john-wynne.com/contact.htm
I would not be surprised if it is a Jon Swayne or other wooden Low D from the sound

It’s definitely an F whistle. Transcribed the first tune. Here is the transcription in D:

I also have it in F (the original key) which is what I play it on my silver flute.
The make of the whistle–no idea.
wow, did not sound like an F to me when I listened to it hence suggesting a Swayne Low D

The sleeve notes say he plays a “Low F whistle”, but doesn’t mention a maker. Page 6 of the sleeve notes shows his hands holding a low -F whistle, but I don’t know enough about them to identify it. It looks like it could be aluminium. There 's a huge list of “thanks to…”, which mentions Messrs Olwell, Grinter and Murray, but I don’t recognise any whistle maker’s name in the list.
As suggested above, if you really want to know, best to ask him yourself.
PS - neither the name of Jon Swayne, or Burke appear in the list.
The CD is 11 years old now, but the contact address in the notes is as follows :
Grinter makes low whistles…
That may be the answer, then. Cheers, Nico.
but…does Grinter make them in aluminium ? The whistle in the photo is made of metal, not wood.
Hey, thanks for the idea, I’ll contact him and let’s see what he tell me, I will post here when I get the answer, thank you all
