Hello all,
I am looking for a good quality Low E whistle to purchase. I play in worship at church and with some friends who play Bluegrass and many times they play in E or A (keys playable on an E whistle). I know that Cheifan makes them, but would like anyone elses advice or opinion.
Also, if anyone has a Low E or even a Low F or F# that they would be willing to part with, please respond or send a private message.
Thanks
Joseph
Suggest possibly a Low E Burke composite. In Low F, perhaps Overton.

I second Phil’s vote for the Burke composite. It’s one of the finest whistles I’ve ever played. As is the Water Weasel high-E.

hey guys,
As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I am doing. Mchael Burke contacted me that he was finnishing a batch of Alpro Low E’s. He is a great guy, cool to work with and was very fast at emailing back after my reply. Thanks for your advice.

Just so we’re clear on this, I was recommending the composite, which is not the Al-pro. I have an Al-pro (this is aluminum alloy)soprano D that I love, but have no experience with the Low E Al-pro and haven’t really heard anything about it. I have only played a composite (some sort of plastic material)B natural Burke but never a Low E composite; however, I’ve heard from so many paople and listened to so many sound clips on composite Low E and they sound great.
Regards, Philo
I have an aluminum (or aluminum alloy?) Chieftain Low E that does not get a lot of use. I am quite interested in creative swap.

Tom,
what exactly do you mean by a creative swap? You have my interest…(chuckling).
