I developed the whistle over the summer months after receiving an inquiry from Dave Manners in the UK.  After my own testing in the shop, I had two very good whistle players check the play ability and tone of the new whistle.

 Their response to the new instrument over several weeks was "Don't change anything...leave everything alone!"

Over the summer, quality pipe was difficult to obtain in suitable  amounts. After a lot of searching, I obtained a new type of pipe with a very polished bore from SPIF and this material turned out to be excellent whistle material.

The Ultra Low C whistle is a unique design that plays with less breath and increased volume. The whistle is easily cleaned, fully tunable and has minimum finger reach on all of the holes. All fingering is exactly the same as a regular C whistle.

Low C Whistle is 25 inches long and takes down at the tuning slide to 18 inches. Mouthpiece is the original Straight Shot model with improved volume cut on the wind way. Mouthpiece is made from white polymer pipe with a high density dark gray poly plug. Tone body is air brushed with vinyl black color coat and has stippled silver accent ring and dazzle silver striping. This whistle is perfect for playing in the Key of C, F, and Dm with no cross fingering to learn.

 If you currently play a WhistleSmith Low D, you can play this new Low C. No "bagpipe fingering" required!
