The Low D Qwistle is a strong & warm sounding low whistle, pitched in the key of "D", and designed by Scottish musician & instrument innovator Donald WG Lindsay (donaldwglindsay.com).
The Low D Qwistle's simple construction also makes it one of the most lightweight low D's around, weighing in at only 5 ounces for the aluminum model.
Approximately 22 1/8 inches long.
The Low D Qwistle is tuneable within a range of +/- 12 cents, and combines a strong, assertive sound with good intonation, and warmth of tone.
The "Standard" is a comparatively strong low whistle, with solid low notes, and a "thick" tone with strong fundamental and good volume balance between octaves. Air efficiency has been improved for May 2018, and compares well with other professional standard low D's.
The "Pro" mouthpiece will take a little more "push", particularly in the second register, and has a little more of everything listed above (ie. everything that characterises the Qwistle), including a bottom D you can basically bounce off the wall.
Made in the UK, the Low D Qwistle is manufactured to a high degree of precision, using a combination of cutting edge 3D printing and traditional machining skills.
All Qwistles are personally finished, adjusted, tuned and tested by Donald WG Lindsay at the Lindstruments workshop in Glasgow.

This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.

I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!

Multifacsited approach to something fun to do!

Plays like a dream. I have MS and am no longer able to play guitar, but this uke let's me play songs again and sing. I had no idea how much I'd missed having music in my body. Thanks, Lark!

I love these little hand carved wood whistles from Brazil
