Classic Whistle Heads

The three heads are variations of the classic whistle head sound, a sliding scale from bright and resonant to mellow and breathy.

Reed

The reed head is the loudest and most powerful of the three heads. It has a strong resonant reed like quality that is unique in the whistle world. It requires some taming and good breath control.

Balanced

The balanced head is the easiest of the three heads to play and is great for all types of music. It has a small amount of the resonant quality of the reed head and a little of the breathy quality of the Chiff head that isn’t really present on the reed head. If you are just going to get one head we recommend the balanced head especially if you are a beginner.

"I have owned a large range of high and low whistles (some being professional hand carved wooden ones) but I have never owned a low whistle of this professional quality for such an incredible price as my Howard Silk Low D. The classic -M3- Balanced head has such a pure tone and has a responsiveness for dynamics unlike I’ve ever played or heard. It takes so little breath (even in the second octave) compared to every other low whistle I’ve played and you get such a pure tone. 

John Stafki - Google Reviews

I recently ordered a Howard low D in nickel with the MK3 head. I inquired about the Chiff head and asked if I could order one pre-release and David kindly obliged. Let me tell you that if you’re looking for a low whistle, you should stop now and just purchase a Howard. Having played several other low Ds, this is by far my favorite and has EVERYTHING I was looking for. Nicely balanced across the octaves, a strong bell note, highly responsive to embellishments, good intonation, diverse tonal abilities. This whistle has it all.

Like I said, an absolute fantastic and highly versatile instrument. Get one! You won’t be disappointed.

Howard low whistles are not hard blown nor do they use much air. They move solidly between the two octaves. With practice they can be played loudly or quietly in both octaves without significant changes in pitch.
