Shearwater Low Alto 'G' alloy Irish whistle - Celtic Warm, mellow tone, easy to blow. Wholesale prices.

Shearwater Whistles equal the best on the market for tone, quality and price. They are handmade in Northumbria , UK by musician and instrument maker and repairer, John Bushby.

The sound is warm and mellow, with a clear and carrying voice which makes them ideal for playing with other instruments, whether in sessions, live performances, or in the recording studio. They are ideal for the amateur and professional musician alike.

They have a clear and clean sound in all octaves and breath pressure is even throughout.

DO NOT rely on an electronic tuner set at A440 to test tuning as the air temperature affects how the whistle will read tuning wise.  If the air temperature is around 68F then A 440 is fine. The higher the air temperature the higher your tuner needs to be set and vice versa.  As these whistles are totally handmade there may be signs of the material having been worked; this in no way effects the playability but shows they are handmade. As with all alloy or aluminium tubed whistles they require warming up before playing in pitch.  This is quite normal.
