Offering a sweet, substantial voice with the depth to carry in a session and the clarity needed for recording, this whistle provides a balance of warmth and brightness. Octave jumps and ornamentation feel natural & tuning is consistent from the low end to the high end.

Over time, a natural patina will form. Many musicians love this, however; if you prefer to avoid/remove patina, gentle methods for cleaning & polishing used on any brass surface should work on our whistles, as well.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Peace Through Music International</strong></b><span> works to transform the lives of war impacted children and adolescents through locally-run, youth-led music education programs.
