It has a small amount of the resonant quality of the reed head and a little of the breathy quality of the Chiff head that isn’t really present on the reed head. If you are just going to get one head we recommend the balanced head especially if you are a beginner.Description 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.
