Carbony Low Whistle in A made from carbon fiber
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.

The instruments from Pipe Makers Union are designed both in terms of processing and playability, for professional use. Characteristic is the compact tone. This means that the higher octaves stand out far less than many other whistles. The result is a balanced sound that requires less air from the player, and provides a real playing experience.
