Trip to Pakistan - Shaw D low whistle

I got this beautiful Shaw low D whistle from Lark in the Morning's Seattle store. Spent the day playing their bodhrans, whistles, flutes, recorders, harps, and their electric violin. Thank you John and Pam for being so wonderful to me, and for putting up with the cacophony I created in your shop :)

Technical-wise, the Shaw requires more air than my concert flute, the second octave sounds fairly in tune, I can get to it smoothly, and the pitch doesn't break anywhere.

It was evening by the time I left the shop, so I wandered around the piers and Pike Place for a little bit and took pictures.

That shop is in Pike's Market, isn't it? Been there once, and I couldn't spend enough time there. Great place :D

Gorgeous. And it IS breathy. I love it! Reminds me there's a soul playing and not just an instrument making notes. :)

@SW94929 It's called a harp-guitar. It's a guitar with extra low strings played 'free' (no frets) like on a harp.
