Carbony GHB Pipers Whistle A440 made from carbon fiber
This pipers whistle has eight finger holes, one of them a thumb hole. So it can played like a Great Highland Bagpipe.
The tone, fine tuning, intonation and materials, however, 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.Last but not least these whistles are tuneable.
