@@patricktibbits5475 not quite a clarinet. Whistles perform sonically like open tube instruments, like the flute, while clarinets act as a closed tube - so the partials are incomplete.
It's fair to say, I don't think these first ones are easy to play for most people. The Qwistle in my video "Drop of a Hat" is identical to this one in design, so it is at least possible for me to play comfortably. Seems I have a set of lungs on me (to be fair I'm sometimes called on in my family to blowup camp beds by mouth and that sort of thing), and Frank you must have a good air supply too! The Qwistles featured elsewhere on UA-cam are of the later kind, it does take less air, but without losing the sound and the strength of low D. Took a bit of doing, that, and is unlike any other low D head. Happy to send you one Frank if you'd like, since you're still playing the Qwistle & enjoying it - just pm me your address & will pop one in the post for you to try. It's got o-rings just the same as the one you've got, should change out easily enough.
Can't go wrong with the key of D.
@@tpWinch Terry, how are you?
@@frankclaudy1031 Good, Frank, as I hope you are.
I put the headphones on for this one. Like the tone and the tune. If you put a reed in that whistle would it be a clarinet?

@@frankclaudy1031 Music is the only discipline where the more you tell me, the less I know.
I think it’s stressful to play a low whistle that eats so much air.
@@giorgiolamborghini813 I agree, but for the right tune, it is worth it for the tone.
