Here is the makers description:
Finally, a Low A whistle that is comfortable to hold! Even with the Piper’s Grip, the fingers have to be spread considerably on a Low A Whistle to be able to cover the holes properly given the length of the flute. Rob has small, angled tubes set into the body, which makes the hole on the inside significantly offset compared to the outside. As a result, the holes are much closer together for the right and left hand respectively than is the case with other flutes of this length. The holes can be closed very comfortably with the second finger. If you have longer fingers and have no problems with spreading, you can even close the holes with your fingertips.
The distances between the holes, each measured from center to center of a hole:
- Left hand: from the first hole at the top to the second hole 43 mm and from the second to the third hole 37 mm.
- Right hand: From the fourth hole to the fifth hole 37 mm and from the fifth to the sixth and thus lowest hole 38 mm.
The head is removable thus making the flute tunable. The body consists of two parts. A cloth bag is included.
Total length: 77,5 cm (30.5 inches)
Length of the upper part including the head: 50 cm (19.7 inches)
Length of the lower part: 29 cm (11.4 inches)
This low whistle’s tone, fine tuning, intonation and materials are absolutely innovative. The body of the flute is made of carbon fiber. Thus, the instrument is not only lightweight and virtually indestructible, but remains in tune for centuries, since the material is inert. There’s a reason why Rob, who builds the whistle, offers a lifetime warranty.
Carbon fiber is an extremely tough, lightweight plastic that is geometrically stable. Thus, the whistle is not susceptible to temperature fluctuations, nor will the pitch change. Instead, it remains just as playable as the day it’s made. In addition, the thin material and the conical design create a warm timbre in the low register, which is not lost in the ensemble. The bulbous body with the sometimes obliquely drilled holes ensures a comfortable grip.
