Howard whistles are made in Sheffield, a historic home of fine craftsmanship, metal work and precision engineering. They feature a unique two-piece design developed by master craftsman and instrument maker Brian Howard over the last 40 years.
The Original Brass Low Whistle - Black
Developed over 40 years by master craftsman Brian Howard, the Howard low whistle has benefitted from continuous design improvements to bring you an affordable, professional instrument of world-class quality. Recent developments on the whistle head, the result of David O’Hagan’s extensive experience as a instrument maker and sound engineer, mean that the Howard low whistle is better than ever.
Howard Low C whistle (55cm long). The new revamped low whistle from Howard - and the most responsive. Made of polished brass with a specially designed plastic mouthpiece. New tooling has allowed crucial development in the cut process providing an instrument of superior tuning with easier playability.
Supplied in a protective plastic carry case. Made in Sheffield, England.
The Howard Classic Whistle’s Unique Design
-With The New M3 Head-
Specially drawn thin-walled brass tube
The whistle body is crafted from a specially drawn large bore, thin-walled tube of brass, the alloy of choice for fine instrument makers through the ages.
The metal is a German-made alloy of copper and tin, the ratio is our own specification to achieve optimal acoustic properties.
The two-piece design resolves tuning issues without the use of perturbations in the bore, making it accurate and stable over both octaves at all volumes.
Head made from robust virgin ABS resin, with advanced acoustic design.
Howard tuneable heads have an improved finish which makes for a fluid playing experience and a balanced, refined tone.
Moulding allows the realisation of a smooth internal structure with low air friction – in comparison to a 3D printed or poorly finished metal head, which are rougher and disturb the air flow. Each head is individually made, carefully hand-finished, and tested against a reference.
Reference line for tuning
Howard low whistles are tuneable with a clearly engraved reference line.The two-piece design allows for a tuneable professional whistle at a competitive price.
Engraved with the Howard logo.
A hand finish and beautifully engraved logo match the quality of the design engineering. The result is a sonorous and playable whistle which allows for a range of dynamics across registers, maintaining timbral qualities and accuracy in pitch.
