Description

＜p＞The Modern is Tony Dixon's aluminum-bodied whistle, paired with the same polymer head used across the rest of the line. Thicker walls than a traditional thin-walled whistle give it a slightly fuller, more solid-sounding tone, a departure from the thin-walled style that makers like the late Bernard Overton helped popularize in heavier-walled aluminum construction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The head joint is tuneable. The line runs from high D and C through alto Bb, A, and G, down to a low D, all sharing the same aluminum body and voice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tony Dixon has been making flutes and whistles by hand from a family workshop in Devon since 1997.＜/p＞
