A quiet, lightweight Qwistle for playing at home. The Paper Qwistle v2.1 is a super-lightweight, 3D-printed pennywhistle in D with a sweet, low-volume tone. Made to order. Current estimated turnaround: at least three months. If a finished instrument is explicitly shown as ready to dispatch, it may be sent sooner. Key features Very quiet, sweet tone, intended for home practice rather than loud sessions or gigs. Well tuned throughout, with an easy range up to E in the third register. Smooth octave transitions and a light, responsive feel. Designed by Donald WG Lindsay. Why “Paper”? The name refers to its 0.7 mm wall thickness, grainy paper-like surface and white colour. It is made from powdered plastic and is deceptively robust in ordinary use. It is quieter and lighter than the thicker-walled Qwistle, making it particularly well suited to living rooms and close neighbours. Optional case A lightweight mini Kist can be made to house the Paper Qwistle.
