Alto G Tuneable Whistle
Description
This is an impressive Alto whistle. Many discerning whistlers are searching for tuneable instruments – look no further! The Alba, as we have said before is remarkable in its quality and fulfils all the essential functions of a tuneable whistle.

The Alba is made tuneable by the addition of a knurled tuning slide (lug) to the main pipe.
There is a small recess under the slide, which holds a thin wrap of PTFE tape – to enable an airtight joint. The slide is maintained by the occasional drop of oil to facilitate slide movement.

Mr. Wetyer says: this is one of our best selling Tuneable G Alto Whistles. I really enjoying blowing mine.

Dixon Alto G Aluminium Body.
Description
A superbly specified instrument. Complete with the highly refined and trustworthy head. The aluminium body provides a substantial feel and contributes to a most mature sound.

The tuning mechanism is outstanding - the addition of the double 'O' rings make a wonderful seal and provide eminently precise tuning possibilities.

A relatively light instrument that despite it’s reasonable price feels reassuringly expensive.

Chieftain Alto G. V3
Description
This, like other Chieftain’s, is a factory made whistle and has an aluminium body with a flat-topped mouthpiece and rounded sides. There is a reassuring solidity and consistency with these instruments, chiefly because of the continuous honing of the production techniques used by Chieftain. The holes are well engineered and perhaps slightly larger than comparative Alto G’s.

This is not one of Chieftain’s better-known instruments – you have all perhaps become very familiar with the Chieftain Low D.

A very popular and fulfilling instrument to play.

Weight displayed includes plastic carrier.

V3 information. Please note that the V3 is not photographed here (V3 has curved wind-way) the type illustrated is the old windway design.

Reviol Natural G
Description
Reviol Low Whistles are all carefully handmade from Aluminium Alloy tubing. The Fipple is hand-hammered to work-harden the material – this planished look is unique in itself. All finger holes are de-burred by hand to ensure a smooth airflow. The finished whistle is then glass-bead blasted to achieve a distinctive surface finish that is not slippery. Anodising creates a natural protective layer on all parts of the whistle that protects and improves the finish.

The finished product can indeed have all the superlatives thrown at, slick, attractive - you can carry on forever. They are free blowing and the bore in general has been kept modest in diameter to ensure that they remain manageable when it comes to wind requirement.

Finally the winning feature of interchangeable bodies is surely going to make this a winning brand.
