Curious if anyone has any experience with wood low whistles from the makers Rui Gomes of Portugal (www.soprosrg.com) or Marek Bzowski of Poland (www.flute.pl)?
I bought a low g from Bzowski he is super nice whistle was done inside 3 weeks and is a beautiful instrument. Can recommend he answers his emails promptly and lets you know when it is ready you don’t pay until the whistle is done. Nicely packed and sent recorded.
That’s interesting. I am thinking myself about buying a low whistle at some point. Do you know what kind of wood it is made from? Is it a one-piece whistle, or is it tunable? And how does it compare economically to, say, the few industrial offerings available on the market?
And what about the fingering - is it the same as a high D whistle? Ie. is it possible to play tunes on such low G just like on a tin whistle?
I did a review on his whistles here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_gHBYhZvz8&list=PLl-4VePfsXIHkuTMywH0G676VasW_QZcE&index=24
sorry whistle 
not plural. He has several different types of wood that he uses and you can chose. He makes his whistles in both tunable and non tunable versions and the tunable one’s are a little bit more but they are really affordable. Yes the fingering is the same it’s a mezzo G . HOpe that little video may help you just send him an email as i said he is a really nice guy.
Thanks, your video is very informative and indeed, it does look (and sound!) like a beautiful instrument. It’s about twice more expensive than a low A svirel, but still much, much cheaper than many western-produced low whistles.
I am impressed by your skills by the way! I would never guess you have only 1 year of experience. I hope to be at your level in a few years.
I noticed that you apply some reverb or echo to your videos - may I ask how you do it, what tools you use? It’s a question I’ve asked in another thread (with lots of precious answers there) but I’d still be curious about your specific use case if you don’t mind.
Of course i don’t mind i actually did a little tutorial on how i do it

hope that helps 
I had a piano years and years ago and as a child i played the recorders and a little time the saxophone so i had a head start on relearning to play a whistle
Learning to play an instrument is like learning a new language stick with it the good thing about music is it’s self rewarding. Every little bit of progress will spur you on . Happy whistling to you.
I also did a little low whistle review of mine and how they cope with high notes

Ah, so it is audacity, cool. Thank you.
About the whistle dropping at some notes (you briefly mention it on one video): I had the same issue, maybe even worse because the head of my svirel is flat so it is not possible to hold it with the lips, until I realized that when the upper hand (the one closer to the mouth) needs to uncover holes, then the state of bottom holes does not matter at all. This to say that to play B or C# on a D whistle I cover one or two of the bottom holes, just to hold the flute. It does not change the sound, to my ear at least. Sorry if this is obvious to you, just stating it in case you missed it. It is such a simple thing but it was not immediately obvious to me.
You are very right about the self rewarding aspect of whistling. I am a very, very slow learner, never had any contact with music before and I struggle a lot, but every tiny step forward is a source of great satisfaction. I guess that’s what it is all about.
Cheers.

Absolutely and yes i figured that out the thing with the lower hand holding on when you play c or placing the little finger of the lower hand just below the lower holes works too. I guess all that come with practise.
