The Low D whistle I make today looks much like the first whistles I made for Marilyn. However, ten years and 1500 whistles later, they play much better. I never supposed that so many people for so many reasons would want a whistle with Small Hands fingering.

If you have small hands, arthritis, stiff joints, carpel tunnel problems, or problems gripping a whistle because you have limited strength in your hands, you will enjoy playing this low D whistle right out of the box. Folks with large hands will find this instrument to be as comfortable as a small whistle for them to play.

This is the Low D whistle that plays with less breath, less reach, and more volume. All fingering is exactly the same as a regular D whistle except for the top two notes. The fingering for the 2nd octave A & B notes are played with the third finger down to give you perfect pitch, which makes an easy fingering set to accomplish.
