Carbony Tin Whistle in D made of carbon fiber QUIET
The quiet version of the proven D-Whistle from Carbony. The body is considerably narrower than that of a standard whistle, so the volume of this instrument is correspondingly lower.
This whistle can be rightly called a fusion instrument. The design and the tone are reminiscent of the instruments of the 19th century. 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.
