Reviews around instrument (5.00 of 5)

  • The instrument sounds good to me, I don't have problems getting a pretty wide range of notes out of it (maybe an octave and a half), and what I get sounds decent in a mix.
  • The high side of the upper octave sounds a tad airy, but that's perfectly acceptable for such an affordable instrument.
  • Fantastic instrument, everything it was supposed to be and more!
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for instrument

Reviews around custom (5.00 of 5)

  • The whistle itself is nice, but was very disappointed that it says it comes with "an attractive custom made pouch" but it came with nothing at all!
  • In the description it says this "Comes with our attractive custom made pouch" and there is no pouch

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • Great price for a wonderful and fun instrument
  • But I'm not going to knock it down a star for that because the price was right and others had already stated they didn't get the pouch

Reviews around quality (3.86 of 5)

  • It's easy to play and overall is just a great quality for the price.
  • My wife (who is a great violinist and singer) has said my pitch while singing has greatly improved as I have been playing
  • I bought the Walton's little black first and find the high D note is easier to play than the sweet tone, but the Sweetone has better tone quality and plays in tune a little better
  • Kudos for appealing to her, as picky as she already is.

Reviews around thing (2.94 of 5)

  • that's clear, sweet, and quiet (for a whistle).I love this thing
  • This is my first tin whistle, so I can't compare it to other ones, but it's a neat cheap little thing to play around with.

  • I love this little thing
  • It is not a pipe but rather a flat piece of metal bent into a cone shape; so it has a seam running the full length of the underside of the whistle – which is not a bad thing
