My new wooden head whistle!

Dear friends!

I do not know if you’ll remember me …
I am still studying and making Irish Whistle.
The passion for Irish Whistle is endless :slight_smile:

My latest version!

The wood head and metal body were mixed.

There is less variation in breathing in one octave and three octaves.
A stable sound can be produced up to three octaves.
Above all, it is free from condensation.

I also upload a photo and a performance sample.
My playing skills are not enough (focus on the sound. Haha)

(I use Google Translator, do you understand the sentence?)

Very nice looking whistles. :thumbsup:

Google Translator seems to be working fine, I understand perfectly.

Those are beautiful whistles, with great craftsmanship.

What I’m looking for is a thing with the body of a normal Irish Low D Whistle, but the top like an Andean/Peruvian/Bolivian Quenacho (Kenakena).

Great looking whistles! What type of wood is the head?

Based on your facebook, it looks like you’re in South Korea? How’s the Irish music scene there?

High Eb. D. C. Bb. (C #. B)

Alto A. G. F (G #. F #)

Low Eb. D

Wooden heads are made of ebony or Guaiacum(lignum vitae).

All keys are produced.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Anak Whistle

Yes, South Korea.
In Korea, Irish music scene is small. :frowning:

It’s cool there is a scene though. I hope to travel in Korea sometime in the next few years, and I’ll make sure to pack a whistle :slight_smile:.

Richard, have you seen this?

Beautiful whistles, a very pure sound, so for the right customer these would be great whistles I think.

I think I tried one of those when it was on tour.

I have a couple nice-playing Bolivian cane Quenas in G, and a Quenacho in low D, so I’m familiar with how to play those.

What puzzled me about the aluminum Quenacho/Low D Whistle thing I tried was how wide the notch was made, much wider than on my Low D Quenacho. It made the aluminum thing harder to play, for me anyhow.

I’d made a thing like that out of PVC pipe, copying the notch of my Quenacho but putting Irish Low Whistle style holes on it. I couldn’t get the octaves right, don’t know why.

In any case I should buy one of those “open whistles”. I’ve sent an Email to that guy. Thanks for the link!

I hope to be like you say
I will endeavor constantly.
Thank you. :wink:

Best regards,
Anak Whistle
