I have a Low D and it is a fantastic whistle. It has an easy blow for such a big sound. Good amount of chiff and it's easy to push the tone of the notes around. A very strong bottom D. 5 stars out of 5

Hello, the soprano D that I ordered arrived last week, sooner than I expected - thank you.

Here are a few comments that may be of assistance to somebody.

Though in one review the soprano whistles are described as "very very loud" I did not find that to be the case at least with the all brass fipple in D. In comparison the volume is similar to a Dixon DX-Trad and perhaps less brash in the first octave.

The whistle still has good volume with latitude, the second octave is not overpowering and neither was it hard to play in breath-wise.

Another review commented about having the 3rd finger down for the C-nat but perhaps because of my inexperience I found the difference very small between 2 and 3 and it probably has more relevance when the C-nat is blown harder.

Overall the whistle has a nice balance both in tone and in play. Thanks again to JOB Whistles.

Incredible instrument. I received the Low D Whistle recently and getting used to the pipers grip as I'm not used to that. I come from a background of playing the guitar so I still need to do more practice at the Low Whistle to get better at it. The Low Whistle is incredible crafted and the sound it has is really beautiful, very clear tones. It's certainly worth getting if you want to try something new. Thank you John O’Brien for making great instruments. Keep creating.

Go raibh míle maith agat.

In got one of your soprano whistles in D last month, delrin / brass fipple. And I have to say: man, what a joy to play!
Back pressure in the high octave takes some small getting used to (had that with a Carbony as well, so it was not unexpected), but once I had it figured out: crisp, clear, warm, from the lowest to the highest note.
The volume is perfect for indoor playing, I can't say at all I find it too loud.
Perfect instrument, very well designed and very nice to look at!
Plus: talking and writing with you guys was a pleasure, thank you very much indeed!
I'm very much looking forward to the low D I ordered today.
Cheers, Stefan

Me again. Gut the Low D yesterday. Compared it to a Chieftain Custom Tuneable and I have to say: Thank you!

The Low D ist already crisp and easy to play without accidentally getting into the second octave - no training required. Perfect balance and continuum over the two octaves, plays easily, without hitch!

Plus, I like the flat mouthpiece very much.

Top finish, excellent design! Thanks a lot!
