HarmonyFlute Whistle in D, C or Bb - Ashwood (Tunable)
This is a beautiful hand made whistle that was made by the passionate whistle makers at the HarmonyFlute workshop in Russia. The whistle is fully made out of Ash wood, and features a nice copper ring. It is a tunable whistle, the headjoint is detachable from the body. It is available in the key of D, C and Bb.
The whistle has a beautifully full and round tone, and more volume than your average whistle. This requires you to blow slightly harder, but because of that you have more tonal possibilities, for example more control over your vibrato. These kinds of whistles are prefered by many professional players, including Brian Finnegan and Kevin Crawford. Brian Finnegan himself has played HarmonyFlute whistles.
