Review: A Beautifully Sounding Whistle - I bought this whistle soon after learning the high whistle. Because of some mailing issues, I ended up with a Howard Whistle at the same time. The Kelpie has a breathier, haunting sound, while the Howard has a clearer, more flute-like sound. The Kelpie is heavier and all metal, so it may be safer on a camping trip. I think it's a tad easier to play because the holes are slightly smaller and easier to cover, especially since I'm using a piper's grip on the far end (D, E, and F). I can reach the holes with my finger tips, but it's harder to land quickly. The wool pouch is very nice and will likely outlast the plastic sleeve the Howard is packed in. Now there's nothing wrong with a Howard Whistle. Both of these are fine instruments. It's a matter of taste and overall preference. I'd suggest finding some video demonstrations, such as the Cutie Pie videos.
Review: Why did I wait to buy this?! - Having enjoyed playing woodwinds since my youth, whistles have been a simple joy to me. Amongst a collection of Celtic flutes and various woodwinds, a few whistles in various keys have always been a constant go to for portable entertainment. Having been somewhat partial to my old high D whistle, I desired to be able to enjoy this same feel and style of play, but with the deep richness of my low D Celtic flute. I received my MK Selkie in low D recently after a bit of research. It did not disappoint. The finish was nice. It was tuned spot on. The mouthpiece is comfortable and hasn’t clogged. It has a good deal of back pressure, which is great as a larger volume of air is required for larger woodwinds. I have large hands, so the holes, though a further stretch, can be accessed by me with or without a piper’s grip with my lower hand. Once.warmed up, the resonance of this whistle has a deep, far away sound, yet not too airy. It is a heavier and well made whistle. It’s great for trad play and anything that sounds good with a deep low sound. I regret not buying it sooner. I highly recommend it for those who play alone. The tunable model might be preferable for group sessions, though, as an option.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is this whistle (the whistle itself, not the packaging)?**
A: An MK Kelpie Low D Whistle is 571mm long

**Q: Is thus a " Kelpie"?**
A: yes it is

**Q: Will there ne mk pro tunable on amazon soon?!**
A: There may be at some point in the future, but not for a while in any case

**Q: Could someone give some idea about the spacing of the lower holes? I have small hands and that is a concern.**
A: I thought I had big hands until I bought this whistle. You really have to stretch to get that last hole. That said; there are exercises that you can do to help. I am doing them and I am almost there. Even with a pipers grip (  Right Hand: Middle phalanx, middle phalanx, distal phalanx of the ring finger - Left Hand Middle phalanx, Middle phalanx and distal phalanx of the right hand) It can still take a lot of practice to properly cover the holes. 

There are some good Youtube videos out there that will not only show you the exercises but also give you an idea about the size of the whistle.

I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This whistle is big and requires you to really stretch your hand.
*by J***R on September 28, 2020*

This is my first professional level whistle. It was packed really well and came without a scratch. It is heavy and well made. The sound is beautiful. I checked the notes and they were spot on. Yes it is well worth the money. That said, please note the size of the instrument. If you have small to medium hands you will likely struggle to play it. Also if you are a beginner you may find that it has a learning curve.
