This Howard Low D includes both the Balanced and Reed headjoints with the optional acoustic resin added, offering two distinct tonal options. The Balanced head delivers a strong, resonant tone with good projection and soulful depth, while the Reed head provides a reedy, “cosmic drainpipe” tone with crisp highs and efficient air use. A versatile setup for players who enjoy tonal variety.

From Howard:

The black Silk Whistle has a beautiful polished finish. The super hard wearing powder coated finish is carefully removed by hand from around the finger holes to reveal the gold of the brass body underneath. The gold is not added so will never wear off. This process together with the polishing of the holes contours the holes slightly more than on the standard finished whistles. The photos really don't do the whistle justice. It looks stunning.
