It plays nicely, good tone and is perfect for what I needed it for.

Its a great little whistle, extremely portable and good tone

Ranked #1 by far the CLARKE PENNYWHISTLE-BOXED D had the smoothest tone and was easiest to play.

It has a softer less harsh tone.

It has a decent tone and fun to play.

From other reviews I take it that the wooden mouth piece gives this whistle a softer tone than others which is probably best for the beginner

Ranked #2 was the Walton Mellow D, with plastic mouth piece good tone but more tinny then the Clark

A little difficult to play at first, but once under control, a wonderful tone.

I have recorded this in music and get a pure, beautiful tone

The wooden, rather than plastic mouthpiece is part of what gives it the sweet tone

It has a nice tone right out of the box, and looks really slick

this has a softer tone than traditional Clark whistles and works better for slower tunes but is easier to overblow.

this has a softer tone than traditional Clark whistles and works better for slower tunes but is easier to overblow.

so I ordered another version with the plastic molded mouth piece (Clarke Sweet tone), it feels and plays much better than its wooden mouthpiece counterpart.

Oak Classic in C, again plastic mouth piece a full tone not too tinny, but more difficult to play

so, right away I thought the sweet tone was a bad whistle, or a just a cheap whistle

I like the tone of the instrument very much

The tone is sweet and soft, the tapered body is easier to grip and play

They do require more air than some other whistles, but the tone is worth the extra effort

However, once you get the hang of it and build up your breath control, get the Original because the tone is much nicer.

This whistle has a beautiful tone and is easy to play

It has a nice tone, but cannot be played very loudly

I had originally gotten a Clarke sweet tone

Breath control, embouchure, and fingering are going to be important to achieve a smooth, even tone

Have a nice tone

Bending notes is a bit easier on this whistle than on the Oak, but this is also one of the easiest whistles for a beginner (the conical tapered shape makes for an easy time when you're starting out).It feels (and somewhat looks like) a child's whistle, but that doesn't do it justice because it's well made and has a very nice, mellow tone.

so I just started using it, practicing the same things I was practicing with the sweet tone to break it in

A little difficult to play at first, but once under control, a wonderful tone.

Hitting your low D is much easier on this whistle (compared to the Clarke Celtic Tin Whistle), it provides a superior tone and is actually louder than a whistle with a plastic fipple

The shape did not change, but that micro movement gave the whistle such a clear and ringing tone.

, Tone is very pleasant but on the softer side...

It has a softer less harsh tone.

This seems to be because this instrument has an optimal volume at which the tone and the intonation are best.

It works well, and has a pleasant tone,

As a contrast, the Feadog has a brighter (louder) tone to it, which works well for larger rooms

They have a beautiful, sweet tone

This whistle in my opinion has a very nice tone.

It has a nice clear tone, and the wooden fipple as well as the design on the body makes you feel like you're playing an instrument worth more than just fifteen bucks

I have a couple of nice whistles with plastic mouthpieces, but they all have harsher, breathier tones to them.

It has the same body type as this, but again, the tone of the original tin whistle is just softer and sweeter

This thing has a beautiful tone and is easy to learn

As a contrast, the Feadog has a brighter (louder) tone to it, which works well for larger rooms

Beautiful tone

In my opinion, buying one with a plastic mouthpiece is a mistake because of the tone quality that is lost
