Anyone looking to offload their Howard Low C?

Reasonable offers considered. I'm based in the UK.

Thanks, y'all! Got a nice Reviol E/F/G set on the way.

Hey all,

I'm after a used low F whistle. Happily consider Overton, MK, Kerry, Burke, or Reviol.

Cheers,
Brett

If I wasn't missing the C# body, this would be the entire Syn high whistle range :D I've had these for a while now (purchased from Mitch at Oz Whistles at least 4-5 years ago), and I never play ...

Yup. And everyone asks about the low F whenever I gig with it!

BUMP

Still keen to get my hands on a good Low F, and to find a good home for the Dixon!

I wish you'd make some more low whistles, Chuck!
I still guard the low F you made me years ago closely

Hi all, I'm interested in a used Low F whistle in Aluminium or Brass. Prefer Burke, Reviol (with the Low E body as well if you've got it!) or Overton, but will consider others. Anyone looking to unload one of theirs? :D I've got a Dixon 3-section flute/whistle to trade as well. Bought in 2009, as ne...

I'm with pancelticpiper -- your best bet is to pick out some reels that catch your fancy off of recordings that you like and to work that way. There are plenty of free software applications (like Audacity) for slowing down audio files (with or without changing the pitch), which can also be helpful w...

I was lucky to get hold of a GFM Low F back when Chuck Tilbury was making whistles. The tone is fairly solid, with a touch of airiness (so not as solid as a Burke, but nowhere as airy as a Shaw). The tuning is spot-on across both octaves, and I have no trouble hitting third-octave harmonics. It's be...

Absolutely fantastic. An invaluable resource. Good work!
