I never played on another tin whistle, so maybe you could call this blissful ignorance. I will keep it that way for a while. I do seem to have an allergic reaction to it - irritation in the corner of my mouth. It can't produce the high d in tune. But the sound is lovely.

Para aqueles que moram em apartamento, um ótimo instrumento para os treinos diários.

Ho fatto qualche ricerca prima di acquistarlo e confermo quanto si trova nelle recensioni che lo elogiano.Non gradisco molto al tatto e alla vista la congiunzione longitudinale del lamierino utilizzato per il fusto, però non so se questo doni un timbro particolare o meno allo strumento.Comunque l'ho verificato con l'accordatore ed è intonato.Non richiede molto "fiato" e mi pare equilibrato.

I have a number of whistles (though I've only been playing a year) and this is very definitely my favourite of the high whistles. It is easy to play, very responsive, easy to switch between octaves, and the tone - especially in the second octave- is sweeter and much less shrill than my others (a Generation, a Parkes and a Waltons). It isn't the loudest, so probably not the best to play with other instruments unless you're using a microphone, but on the other hand that makes it much kinder to the neighbours when you're playing at home!I haven't checked the pitch with a tuner but it sounds reasonably in tune with itself, as far as whistles ever are. The 'D' sounds a little sharp, but liveable with. The cross fingered 'C' plays well as oxxooo or oxxoxx and I find half holing easy despite the small holes - I can actually manage to play in the key of 'F' on this D whistle. (though why I would want to I'm not sure.....)Some people don't like the ridge down the back -it was very obvious when I first picked it up but I didn't find it affected holding / playing it and I stopped noticing it within a couple of minutes.Arrived well packaged in corrugated cardboard, which is just as well because it's very lightweight - easy to carry around but I would guess vulnerable to getting dented.

No es lo que me esperaba

Fun to play
