Reyburn Whistles has recently redesigned the voicing on the narrow bore low D and is now recommending it as the “Standard Bore” model. The new voicing has strengthened the low end but retains the quick response needed in Celtic music. The tone is darker (hollower) than the original model and plays much sweeter and easier in the upper register. The tonal balance across the octaves is very smooth and the overall volume of the instrument is fairly loud.

The original standard bore model is still available as the “Wide Bore” model.

Reyburn Whistles is now offering a narrow bore soprano D for those who want a quieter sweeter high whistle. This instrument is suitable for solo play or for play in small groups. It is fairly loud but not as loud as the “session” model.
