A great player, as Burkes reliably are. Light in the hands, with excellent intonation and a nice strong bottom D.The EZ carries the same tone, bell note and tuning as the Aluminum Pro Viper, with the one change that defines the model: the bottom two tone holes sit closer together, 1.67 inches center to center against the Viper's 1.82, and are slightly smaller in diameter, bringing the bottom hole within comfortable reach for players with smaller hands. The E has a slightly lighter presence than the Viper's. Backpressure and air requirements are moderate, and it is very easy to play.Made in 2026 and in excellent condition.A Burke pouch comes with it, though not the one cut for this whistle. It is a little short for a Low D and was almost certainly made for one of the higher pitches, so the top of the whistle sits proud of it. It is included as it came, on the basis that it will very likely fit something a bit shorter already in your case, a low G or thereabouts.
