Kerry Whistles Optima Range

Kerry Whistles Optima Range – A Refined Evolution

The Optima Range from Kerry Whistles represents a carefully refined evolution, replacing the well-loved Busker series with a fresh lineup designed for clarity, playability, and tonal richness. Crafted with thoughtful adjustments in bore size and airflow efficiency, the Optima range spans from high whistles to deep, resonant low whistles, offering musicians a versatile selection for various playing styles and preferences.

Expanded Range & Bore Variations

Building on the legacy of the original Optima low D & F, the new range now extends to include:

• Low E & Low Eb – Featuring the familiar 1-inch bore, providing depth and warmth.
• Optima F & G – The F continues in the classic 7/8-inch bore, while a new G has been introduced with a rich, full-bodied tone.
• New 3/4-inch Narrow Bore G – A departure from the traditional low whistle sound, this G model brings a more "whistley" character with increased responsiveness and reduced air requirements.
• A, Bb, B, & C – These models deliver a balance between power and air efficiency, with a particularly rich, expressive tone.
• Optima Mezzo High D – Replacing the Busker High D, this whistle offers impressive volume, clarity, and a bold, resonant tone well-suited for busking or energetic session playing.

Playability & Performance

The Optima whistles are designed for effortless phrasing, requiring minimal breath while maintaining strong projection and articulation. Whether you're looking for the deep resonance of a low E or the crisp, bright attack of a high D, the Optima series delivers a responsive playing experience with a refined, balanced tone.
