A Whistle
The lowest and largest of our current whistle lineup. Great for collaborating with pipers. And the "2nd position" key is D making it a lot of fun as an alternative to a "standard" D whistle.
Excellent for playing music in:
- A Major
- D Major
- b minor
- f# minor
(and more, with enough creativity)
MAKE MUSIC
Our solid brass whistles feature a durable Delrin mouthpiece and a sliding headjoint for fine-tuning. Offering a sweet, substantial voice with the depth to carry in a session and the clarity needed for recording, our whistles balance warmth with brightness. Octave jumps and ornamentation feel natural & tuning is consistent from low to high.
The A whistle is 39.5cm (15.5") long & weighs 5.5oz
Measurements are approximate, varying based on where the whistle is tuned & how much spit there may be inside the instrument
LOVE MUSIC
The machined finish on our brass whistles is bright without being, "shiny". 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.
SHARE MUSIC
Peace Through Music International works to transform the lives of war impacted children and adolescents through locally-run, youth-led music education programs.
For every instrument sold, Verdant sends enough money to PTMI to provide a participant with an instrument & instruction.
