A beautiful, soft voice, moderate in volume with a nice clean tone. The upper register is the pleasure here: the high A and B are sweet and easy to reach, with none of the strain those notes sometimes take.
The body is a light honey-coloured hardwood in two pieces with a brass tuning slide. The brass ferrules carry engraved Celtic knotwork, which is characteristic of the maker's work.
It comes in a handmade case of figured maple lined with red felt, fitted to the whistle. The case is a fine piece of work on its own.
