So I have an amazing Low G made by Chris Abell, but, that is as low as he goes. So who could I get beautiful Low F and Low D whistles made out of ABW or similar from?
Thanks!

Grinter and Bleazey.
Jon Swayne, if you can wait out his list… Check here for a video of Jemtheflute playing one.
Best wishes.

Nigel Richards at Garvie makes a fine low D: it’s a beautiful instrument, See http://www.garviebagpipes.co.uk/info/whistle/whistle.html
As the owner of a ABW Bleazey low D, I would say Bleazey.

I don’t know if it fits your criteria, as the body is brass, but the irish flute store has a low f Reyburn for sale with a maple head. http://www.irishflutestore.com/reyburn-low-f-whistle-with-maple-head-joint?___SID=U
I have a Sweetheart Resonance that I love. It’s an older model, but I’d imagine the newer ones are at least as good if not better.
I have a Sweetheart Resonance too. It’s a very nice instrument.
Another vote for Phil Bleazey. I have low D by him. Some of his sample clips are mine…
I have a Jon Swayne made from gidgee wood I sent him. Conical bore and fantastic dynamics. I love it.
Thanks for all the replies! Has anyone played an Aschenbrenner whistle from Austria?

Hello everyone! After checking out all of your wonderful suggestions, I wound up ordering Low D and Low F whistles in mopane from Peter Aschenbrenner. WOW! I am so glad I did! The warm of the tone and the quality of both instruments is more than I could have hoped for. They are just beautiful! They only problem now is that I want everything he makes ![]()
Peter is also a great guy, even sent me a couple messages during the Santa Barbara fires a month or so ago to check in and see if I was ok.
Please do check out his instruments - http://www.pa-music.com/en/instrument-maker/instrument/irish-whistles/detail
