The Questions People Ask a Whistlemaker
Misha Somerville answers questions often asked about an unusual and incredible profession.
MK Pro - Low D Whistle (Workshop Blemished)
Harness your creativity and let your imagination run wild with an mk Pro Low Whistle . It is humble, elegant, capable, timeless and limitless. It can be an instrument of togetherness, connection, expression & celebration, or of solitude, meditation & healing. Turn your breath into sound and play a deep rooted Gaelic air, a pop ballad, a 2/4 pipe march, a church Hymn, a Vedic chant, a Christmas Carol, a funk riff or a soaring improvisation - it's up to you.
Occasionally, we produce a whistle that falls short of our first-quality cosmetic standards. Workshop Blemished whistles are fully functional - they sound and play as well as any other mk whistle - but may have cosmetic issues, including small scratches, colour variation, surface irregularities, and anodising imperfections. Most of these blemishes will be on the body or finish of the whistle. Typical issues might include a colour variation between head and body, a fleck or unanodised area where a metal chip has interfered with the anodising process, or an engraving inaccuracy.
We would rather see these whistles being played than sitting in a drawer and hence we offer them at a discounted price.
We offer our standard warranty on Workshop Blemished models. We cannot provide information or photos regarding the exact condition of individual whistles. We do accept returns on unused items within 30 days of purchase. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs.
The mk Pro is the original mk whistle which has since become a firm favourite with musicians around the world. It's development is an evolution which started in a workshop in Abriachan, overlooking Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
Like all great instruments, it is the mk Pro's sound which sets it apart. The chances are you are here because you saw a YouTube review or you tried a friend's mk Pro and it jumped out, but do not fear if you haven't - make use of our satisfaction guarantee and try one in the comfort of your own home wherever in the world you are.
Technical info:
You can print this out to scale [make sure you have scaling turned off on your printer] and wrap it around another whistle or something cylindrical to get an idea of finger-spacing.
