mk Pro - Bass C Whistle

The stresses and strains of modern life can sometimes lead to a soulless existence. Listening, playing and creating music for many around the world is a tonic, adding colour and vibrancy that connects you to people, your culture, your soul and your way of life.

A musical instrument is an object of magic. It has another dimension which you can access, transcending time and place, and allowing the imagination to run free. It can be an instrument of solitude, or of togetherness, healing, meditation, celebration, expression, and of connection.  

The mk Pro Low whistle is an instrument to transport you into a magical altered state of heightened creative connectivity and free-flowing expression. Its creation is a product of a craft combining art, science and engineering, but it lives its life in a place where your desires and imagination meet. It is humble, elegant, capable, timeless and limitless - your very own boat to float on the universe's vibrations.  Never might this be felt more than with the mellow ethereal tones of a mk Bass C.

// Shipping Info

All international postage is insured.

- Worldwide postal services are very reliable - we send hundreds of packages a year and it is very, very unusual for one to go missing. Sometimes there are delays due to worldwide circumstances (e.g. pandemics, postage fluctuations like Christmas) or local circumstances. Tracking allows us to check the whereabouts of a package but, unless your package has been delivered to a neighbour without you knowing, tracking doesn't speed up delivery - it just allows us to check its whereabouts in countries where postal tracking is available.

- It is our responsibility to get your order to you, but we also work with postage services around the world, and any issues they may be facing at the time. We are constantly impressed with how reliable international postal services are given the distances we are posting. In the small number of cases there is a delay, we greatly appreciate your patience. We will work to resolve any issues - we have never not delivered an order.

// Dispatch Times

- We dispatch orders within 1-2 working days. You'll get an email to confirm dispatch (please remember to check spam/junk mail).

- If what you are after is not showing up as in stock in our shop, please email us to find when we will have an instrument ready to send to you.

- Dispatch times are meant as a guide only. Very occasionally things do go wrong - not every whistle we make meets our standards. In this case we'd rather delay your order than supply a poor instrument.
