WALTONS 1521 Brass Irish D Whistle

Absolutely amazing value for money!

Great little whistle!!!! I bought this as the first one i got elsewhere was so squeaky and the holes were hard, so I got this to try again with, and I am so pleased I did! Was looking at several penny whistles on here, and I bought this one as I loved one of the reviews (mentioned that it was good although an audience of rats now followed them!) which made me laugh and settle on this one. It is so easy to use, and once you get the breathing down and a bit of practice in there it is great fun and you can get a wonderfully large selection of tunes from it. Marvellous little instrument that is easy to take around with you in your pocket or bag for when the mood strikes you. :)

Most wind instruments are difficult for the low notes but good at the higher notes. In contrast this whistle is pure and sweet at the low notes but less good at the higher notes.

Excellent quality and speedy delivery thank you

Ideal tin whistle for children.

I've been playing the tin whistle for 45 years. I bought this to replace one that was lost. It has a lovely mellow tone and plays perfectly in tune through both octaves. A very nice little instrument and an absolute bargain!

The whistle is not tunable, but holds the notes well. Even after warming up, the sound remains quite breathy. Not exactly what I was looking for, but it may do great for someone looking for this kind of sound. For the money invested, it is a nice toy to play with, without too many expectations.

I bought this Walton purely because I was curious to find out what they were like as I had never tried one before, and it was very inexpensive. Its not that bad, but the tone is not the best I have heard, and I certainly wouldnt describe it as “mellow”.Out of all the whistles I own its not the one I would reach for when I want to play something. If I wanted to use a D whistle I would go for my Dixon or Wild, but then they were a lot more expensive and you would expect them to be better. I now keep the Walton in my car to play when I am stuck with nothing to do.

Petite flûte sympa, pour le prix elle est très bien.

The Walton's Mellow D whistle arrived sooner than I expected and in perfect condition. Although I had played some woodwinds (clarinet, alto sax) I had never played a whistle and after a few minutes of struggling, I got the hang of it. Within an hour I was playing in both registers. Intonation sounded fine.The whistle was made of a seamless brass tube (unlike the tin whistles, incidentally, which are made of tinned sheet metal soldered together). The plastic fipple looks and feels durable.The tone sounded more or less what I thought it would sound like and, to my ears, is fine. I particularly like the upper register.The whistle was shipped in a mailing tube so there's your case; it's easy to download a fingering chart off the web if you feel the need but, really, you just put six fingers on the holes and take them off one by one. Repeat for the upper register by blowing a might harder.In all, ten bucks, a neat little whistle.I'm pleased.

I have been playing tin whistle for several years, starting on a Feadog and later adding Clarke Original and Sweetone tin whistles to my collection. Now that I have a Walton, I wish I had gotten it a long time ago because it's simply a better instrument in my opinion. It does not have a seam on the back and does not have a tapered bore like a Clarke, so the low notes are easy to play as clearly as the high notes. It is a bit wider than a Feadog, giving it a more resonate, less shrill tone, which makes it sound much better in the upper octave. I can't compare it to every tin whistle ever made, but it may be the best one in its very affordable price range.

Un simpatico strumentino a fiato che permette di divertirsi a suonare buona parte dei pezzi di musica folk e non solo.Il gambo è di ottone mentre la testata di plastica.

Flażolet brzmi bardzo dobrze w porównaniu do innych z tej półki cenowej. Dźwięk jest czysty i przyjemny dla ucha. Jest też trochę głośniejszy w porównaniu do mojego poprzedniego gwizdka.
