Highland Fingering in a Whistle Format

The Great Highland Whistle is built with true Great Highland Bagpipe fingering, offering familiar spacing while producing a clear, A440 concert pitch tone. It stands as its own instrument, suited for players who want the feel of Highland fingering in a whistle format.

Constructed from carbon fiber, it provides consistent performance and durability across changing conditions while remaining lightweight and comfortable to play. With a full two-octave range and the choice of regular or big bore airflow, players can select the response and volume that best fits their preference.

Regular Bore — Standard airflow and resistance, best for most players

Big Bore — Increased airflow and volume for players wanting a fuller, louder sound
