Our Story
Whilst Bernard Overton is credited with making the first modern Irish Low Whistle, Brian Howard was a close second. Brian cut his teeth as a tool maker and engineer, then after a stay in Ireland determined to turn his expertise to the creation of traditional instruments and their derivatives, constantly seeking to make improvements in playability and sound.
He spent over 40 years working on his renowned Low Whistles and went on to develop his own version of the Uilleann Pipes and Chanter Reeds in addition to beavering away on countless side-projects.
From his sunny retirement, Brian still makes Chanter Reeds which are available to order here.
David O’Hagan continues the art of whistle-making from the Sheffield workshop, and is constantly seeking to improve and innovate the design.
