Feadog Brass D Whistle, FW01, One Size

Worked well for the Fleadh Guiness world record

This pack itself is excellent to give as a gift as I did or for oneself as a first whistle if the included chart is required. Otherwise you can save a bit by buying the "loose" whistle also available on Amazon. It comes with a simple, concise instruction sheet providing a fingering chart and simple first tunes, "Frere Jacques", "Cockles And Mussels" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".The whistle itself is "brushed" brass so it provides a firm grip and doesn't show the finger prints that a shiny nickel whistle does. The plastic mouth-piece is comfortable in the mouth without any sharp edges. Notes are reasonably easy and accurate and don't need very much wind power: Progressively less breath is needed starting with C with no holes covered and ending with D with all holes covered which is quite delicate and can be a bit squeaky if not careful. Tip: If D is very squeaky or cannot be accurately blown the reason is mostly likely that all the holes are not fully covered.In conclusion, an excellent first whistle for a beginner at an excellent price. The key of D this whistle provides is the key most used in tutorials and first tunes. Overall, 5 stars without any hesitation at all.

Light and has a good sound.

This was purchased as a gift for my nephew who is obsessed with Willy Wonka. A perfect size for a 7 year old who likes to pretend he’s Mr Wonka. A great price too

Loved this sound quality is perfect happy with purchase

Perfect for Feadog ár scoil, happy with purchase

Only £6 so a bargain. Plays well...sounds Oirish BUT...it's way sharp and playing to a backing track of Galway Girl you can hear it's well out. So I'm going to have to remove the mouthpiece and replace it whilst trying to get it to play 440 D. Bit of a pain and I might ruin it...but I have to have a go as I can't use it with backing tracks as it is.

Great product and delivery was quick
