a mk whistle looks to have a blade the same as a cheiftain the wind way looks the same as well, only its formed with a split sleeve instead of being milled out of the fipple block.ive never tryed one but they must sound better.
thanks for review and great playing is that a mcggoldrick tune your playing?
@williamswhistlepipes, The MK design is in some ways like Phil's new V3 Chieftains, but it sounds nothing like them. Very different design. I have owned and played several Chieftains over the years. The V3s tend to be very breathy. the MK design has a fair amount of chiff to it (Misha can tweak to your specs) but a lot of strength and complexity of tone. I have never played another low whistle like it!
Absolutely! Germany actually seems like a great place to tour and play shows. I know there are a lot of Irish musicians and Irish music lovers there:)
Great playing Zak.... really nicely done, and a great tune!

a pleasure. I'm pretty sure they both sound great, but you could make any whistle sound great^^
If you ever come to Germany, I'd love to jam with you. I always liked your whistle videos, but I love your Uilleann pipes...
so, yeah, let's have a jam some time, shall we?
