I've had a good go on the whistle now and I think its really good. I can get the kind of slurred chuffing sound on notes that I can get on a Copeland low D that I play but not usually on smaller whistles. I've played through a few tunes without stopping and the airway doesn't clog up which is something that happens with every other whistle that I play including a Goldie A that I used to have a while back so I have to stop and clear them as discretely as I can at some point.

Hi John,
This morning I received my Whistle ! (Alto A)
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful instrument!
As a professional classical flute player I am used to play on very, very good instruments. So is this! Good tuning/intonation and a beautiful tone!
I am very glad I bought this "Shearwater" whistle from you.
Thanks again and keep going!

Received my Whistle (Tuneable brass Soprano D) from Shearwater yesterday and I am over the moon with it- well worth the wait . The tone is superb, it plays in tune and is all I had hoped for . I had even asked for a particular finger hole placement and John obliged with no mutterings at all. I am still getting used to the breath requirements but in the words of Arnie “ I’ll be back” thank you for giving me an instrument that will give me years of pleasure at such a good price .. ps I am not getting paid for this review.
Got the whistle yesterday--absolutely brilliant. Best whistle I've ever seen and I have some over 200 pounds. Thanks a mil, will order more soon. (soprano alloy C).
Alloy F whistle:
I KNOW I SENT YOU AN EMAIL EARLIER BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, IT'S TONE IS AMAZING. Thanks
