{"product_id":"mcmanus-gt-whistle-in-d","title":"McManus GT, D","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderful player in excellent condition, purchased directly from the maker. The tone is solid and full, with strong volume that carries well in a session setting. The second octave responds readily without requiring significant additional air pressure, giving the instrument a balanced, even feel across both registers. The upper reaches of the second octave speak cleanly without undue effort, which is where many high D whistles begin to push back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction follows the GT Session design: a brass head with a Delrin plug and mouthpiece, paired with a wooden body for warmth and body in the tone. Condition is excellent, with no signs of significant wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Maker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased in Belfast, Roy McManus (MacMaghnuis) is world-renowned for his hand-crafted wooden Irish whistles. He works in both hardwood and ebonite; when making wooden whistles, he has favored materials such as African Blackwood, Indian Ebony, and Mopane. The GT Session represents his take on the large-bore high D concept: by McManus's own description, it is not a bedroom whistle but a louder instrument, not for the faint hearted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irish Flute Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47797579350242,"sku":"Rc51Hie2-SUCOca06","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2140\/2331\/files\/1Q7A8276.jpg?v=1778704206","url":"https:\/\/www.irishflutestore.com\/products\/mcmanus-gt-whistle-in-d","provider":"Irish Flute Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
