I've
played high-end Low Whistles for almost a decade, and frankly, if forced
to choose the best two out of the lot...your MK Low D and Low F would get
the nod. And I LOVE my little collection of Lows! Each has it's special
flavor... I play Copeland, Burke, Bernard Overton, Chieftain, and assorted
other Lows...but none have the overall excellence of these MKs. Seriously,
my friend, your work has pushed the "high-end" whistle-making
envelope!
I play as a meditational device. Daily. In many modes. And they all mesh,
in my (er, secret) meadow...into what is probably evolving into an interesting
"sound." Dream Fusion? Dancing Hemispheres? Ha!

I
had my Low D for almost 2 years and loved playing it but after a while it
developed a bit of a problem. When Misha found out he gladly took the whistle
back and performed some major surgery on it. Now I have an even better looking
Low D along with an amazing Low F. The Low F is such a brilliant whistle
to play, it looks good, sounds great and you just wonder why no-one made
whistles like this before.

The
low "F" is my second MK. They both are beautifully made and sound
as good as they look. The tone is pure and simply amazing. Pete Connolly

the "Westli' Weavers." .

My
green low F arrived last week and like most people who've bought one of
Misha's whistles, I can't put it down. I now pick it up before any other
in my collection. This beautiful low F is without doubt the best whistle
I've ever played and I now can't wait to get my hands on the low D and low
G I've ordered. As well as sounding and playing beautifully it also looks
and feels amazing, what a top class whistle. I would recommend Misha's whistles
to anyone looking for the best there is and already have. Thanks Misha for
providing me with the best whistle I've ever had or played. Jimmy, Tiaraidh

My
Low D MK whistle arrived a few days ago and, like almost everyone else
has stated in the feedback forum, I love it! Thank you Misha for producing
a truly world class instrument. The fit and finish are second to none
and the sound is superbly elegant!

I just got a
low F Black (woo!) MK whistle!!! I havn't stopped playing it since I got
it! I went to a session last night and it played beautifully! Never leave
without it! I really like the way it feels, sounds and is loud but also
mellow. It is great Misha, and thank you very much!

My low D MK
whistle just arrived today I am duly impressed. It's a beautiful instrument
and plays like a dream. Good strong clear tone, handles well with all the
ornaments, and plays beautifully on slow airs and yet handles the sharp
curves of a smoking fast 4x4 reel like a whistle version of good handling
sports car. I've played lots of the better known brands of low whistles
and have owned a number of them over the years and I can truly say this
is the best low D I have ever played. I cannot imagine a whistle playing
much better than this one. This will get extensive use in my band and any
further recording work we do. If you're looking for the best low whistle
you can obtain, get an MK whistle. Fantastic!

Lovely.
That 's the only way i can describe the whistle. I've
just come back from the Celtic Summer School in Australia,
and when i loaned the whistle to another played the
comment i received back was 'i want one'. Well done
Misha . The whistle performs well and asserts itself
in a session but is tender enough the be played in
a soft mellow style as a solo instrument. well done
and thanks for the early follow up to my queries after
i first bought the whistle.

Received
my red MK low D 5 months ago and I am very pleased with
this instrument. It is very responsive and sounds excellent
in both the lower and upper octave. The sound blends beautifully
with that of my fellow band member's uillean pipes. Its
weight is very good to me. The design is superb and the
finishing is also perfect. Just one minor minus: it is
so smooth that sometimes I am afraid it slips out of my
hand. Something like a thumb rest might be a useful addition
for some people. In summary: a joy to play and a real
eye-catcher, both for build and looks, well worth its
price.

I've
had samples of almost every Low D whistle come through
here and I'm hard-pressed to name one with this same
combination of great sound, fabulous appearance, and
meticulous craftsmanship. This is a killer instrument.

I'm
enjoying playing this low d more that my **** or *****.
It has a great low end. I played it at a wedding last week
in a church with fantastic acoustics....had everyone turning
heads toward the back of the church....the cherry red color
had them looking also.

If
you play low whistle then you need to get one of these - a stunning whistle
in every respect. Great tone, very responsive - all you could want from a
low whistle and more
Received
the low D whistle just over a week ago. I can't get over how nice a
player it is, just the right amount of back pressure to be able to really
get some dynamics in my playing. Breath requirements allow full phrases
to be played in one breath. It has great "headroom" from lowest
to highest pressure which assures pitch control, dynamics and full expression.
A smooth player with great tone. All I want in a low whistle. A very
drivable whistle. I now play it more than any other whistle in my stable.

I'm
writing you to - try to - describe how happy I am with your whistle.
I received it last Friday. The first impression was very good, it looks
even better than I thought - and the photos on your site are quite nice
already. Besides looking good, the surface has a very pleasant touch
- I like it much more than the non anodised whistles I've seem before.
As I started blowing, the impression was also quite good. The first
octave is very fat and round, the second is absolutely beautiful, with
the right amount of 'breathiness' - and without being very demanding
in terms of air requirements. The volume equilibrated across the two
octaves and the tuning is also very good. Great work, this is a very
good instrument indeed - and I'm very happy to have it.

Received
the whistle two days ago; very well packaged and took only 3 days to arrive
out here. From the minute I took it out I just couldn't stop playing it(still
playing it now). Apart from it looking really cool, it has an amazing rich
sound. It is definitely the most versatile and well crafted whistle I have
ever come across. Well done Misha!

I
could not believe my ears when I got my MK whistle, its tone is so pure
and deep and perfect it is louder and clearer and more tonal than my old
whistle and I love it . I would and will recommend the MK whistle to anyone
who wants a professional damned good looking and easy to play whistle
that sounds like it was made in heaven! Roll on the " wee D "
I want one....

Hi
Misha, I got a whistle from you in January. You may remember I had to rush
of in a hurry as my elderly uncle had set fire to his kitchen! Anyway the
whistle is great. I am really enjoying playing it and have been playing it
at the Saturday afternoon session in Babbity Bowsters.(Some weeks there have
been 3 MK's there) The craftsmanship is excellent and everyone has commented
on this. This really is a high quality product that not only looks great but
is also really nice to play, with enough back pressure to give good volume
and a full sound over 2 octaves.

Congrats
on your whistles. I bought one a few weeks ago and have barely been able to
hang on to it at sessions. I think a few more purchases may be heading your
way!!
I
bought one of your whistles yesterday for my boyf for his xmas - He'll now
stop begging for one!! Hope the business is going well. Good luck with it,
