Description

Maurice Reviol hand makes his low whistles out of aluminum alloy, a popular and well-suited material for Irish whistles. Fipples are hammered into shape, which in turn strengthens the material.  Finger holes, after being meticulously checked for proper tuning, are finished smooth for improved airflow and comfort.   Cork tuning slides are fitted allowing the player to make small adjustments in pitch as necessary.  All exposed metal is bead blasted providing a non-slip grip and anodized.

The sound of Maurice’s low whistles could be initially described as rich with an earthy chiff.  On further playing and listening you'll notice their impressively wide dynamic range of tone.  Both first and second registers can be played anywhere from gingerly soft to forcefully robust with ornamentation speaking clear and crisp.

For the experienced low whistle player who might be considering a Reviol, their backpressure (the resistance that you sense when blowing into the whistle) could be described as low to moderate when comparing to peers such as Overton or Howard low whistles (which might be described as high).  We feel that it is this type of airflow that partly contributes to Reviols wide dynamic range of tone.
