I just received my new A/Bb whistles! Their tone is so unique and I find the tuning so on. It has been great playing them today and comparing their voice with my Sindt and Burkes. Very different. Your description as mellow and complexity of tone was perfect! My little whistle family is celebrating.

I greatly appreciate tuning and balance between the low and high registers! To me the low is rich, warm and softly bold while the high end has a sweet firm presence without being overbearing. The responsiveness to ornaments is so clear! That surprised me so much when I saw the tone hole size which at first seemed large. But that allows me so much leverage for expression! They're both great whistles. The more I play them the more I appreciate your craftmanship. Thank you Hans!

I received my new Bracker C whistle a couple of days ago and I've already put in a lot of time on it. Very nice whistle. Has a very pleasant and interesting tone. Soft and flute-like but with good volume and power. Response and ease of playing are very good though it does require some push in the upper 2nd octave and into the 3rd octave. It appears to have a fairly wide bore. Wider than on my Susato S series C whistle. My Generation can actually fit inside it. Intonation is very good. Hans can customize and calibrate the tuning to suit the customer's preference. I told him what I was looking for in terms of intonation and he delivered. Workmanship, fit and finish are first rate. The whistle feels good in the hands and the tone holes are silky smooth. Good looking whistle too. The aluminium almost looks like silver, my favourite metal. Maybe someday a solid silver Bracker, or maybe silver plated brass. I think Hans' whistles are worth checking out for anyone who wants to move beyond the factory whistles to a quality hand-made whistle that you can have customized to your specifications. His prices are very reasonable too.
