The whistles are arrived just now. Thank you very much for your business.
The handwork is really beautiful and the sound is what I was looking for.
I hope to deal with you again in the future.

All the best

I just thought I'd let you know that I'm really enjoying this whistle. It's just what I was hoping for. The tone has the right amount of huskiness for the bluesy stuff I like to play (and good for trad too!). I'm pleased with the cross-fingerings in the 1st octave, and really pleased to discover that uncovering the thumb hole gives me Bb and G# in the 2nd octave. Not too shrieky at the top end. I can't hit 3rd E reliably but maybe that will come. This is an all-around whistle!

Just as you said the whistle ( an alloy F) showed up today. I let it warm a bit and it is perfectly in tune. The sound is beautiful and the volume/octave control is outstanding. This whistle was worth the money and the wait. This whistle easily became one of my favorites on the first day. Thank you so much for your fine craftsmanship and outstanding service. I know that I will be ordering more from you soon.

The whistle arrived today, and I love it!
It has a great tone and is a lot easier to play than I expected. This is my first attempt at a low D and having smallish hands I wasn't sure how I'd go with the extra stretch, but the offset finger holes are brilliant. I'm very impressed at how responsive it is. It requires a lot less breath than I expected and moves easily between octaves without effort.

Whistles arrived today. They are absolutely wonderful and the best I've played. Thanks ever so much. I've spent a fortune over the years on various makes that don't even compare. Wish I'd found you sooner.  One happy customer in UK!

HI guys,

My amazing whistle has arrived today and I am overjoyed with its performance. Your product is such a simple design but the tone of the sound is truly awesome. It has a rich and haunting sound that is extremely easy to blow. Having read your website I was expecting to have to tune the whistle but I checked the tuning on arrival with a digital chromatic Korg tuner and it was perfect for every note. A slight tweak of the mouthpiece could perfect the tuning. The tone is totally amazing and at least equals a 100 pound low D whistle that I had previously borrowed. The tone is not as edgy as a metal tube but the whistle gives a haunting mellow sound that is very pleasing and very impressive. This sound is perfect for long airs to give an atmospheric sound. Unlike a traditional low D the holes are placed in very nice ergonomic positions and easy to find using a pipers grip. The polymer tubes that are used in this whistle are very effective at producing the sound and are very robust. I aim to use this whistle for camping trips where we shall be playing traditional folk music around camp fires and I can relax as I know how durable the whistle is. The wood block mouthpiece is amazingly comfortable to play for long sessions and it never seems to block with moisture. This was something I found regularly happened with more expensive whistles. The wood does sometimes get a little moist after playing for a long period but this can be rectified with the use of a little almond oil found in most chemists.

I would like to thank you very much for your wonderful product and for saving me a fortune in selecting your whistle. It has proved to be as good and if not better than a traditional low D whistle.

"I saw your whistles listed on ebay and got the link to your website from there. From your website I was very impressed with your set-up and products.
I could not find any reviews of your whistles anywhere, so decided I would go for one as I wanted a low F whistle.
As I didn't have the chance to play one or even hold one I didn't know what to expect.
When the whistle came I was pleasantly surprised. I am very happy with the playability and tone of the whistle.
I have other whistles in different keys costing twice as much as your low F, and For tone and playability, I would rate your whistle every bit as good if not better than the more expensive ones.
I am very pleased to have purchased one of your whistles, and hope in the future to purchase more in other keys.
Also can I add that the communication from your company was second to none from purchasing the whistle through to updates on postage etc.

The new Low D whistle arrived in the mail today. Thank you very much
for your unending efforts on my behalf!

The sound of this whistle is beautiful over the entire range of the
 scale and it moves easily and beautifully to the higher octave.
 I am especially impressed with the stable low D tone (all holes
 covered) - the tone remains very steady.
 It is a joy to play and very easy to fine-tune. To my ear, the octave
pitch is perfect - definitely no need for tuning tape here.

 I have asked my wife to make me a protective bag from soft felt or
 velvet for this fine whistle, in the proper length for it.
 I will cherish this beautiful and fine-sounding instrument for many,
 many years to come.

 I am so grateful for to you this fine flute and I´d like to thank you
 for working tirelessly to produce an instrument that I am very much
pleased and content with.

It finally arrived on Friday. I am very happy about it. It has a wonderful mellow sound and is very easy to play. I love the wooden mouthpiece. It weights very little, so it is also easy to hold while playing. Thank you very much. It's worth every penny.

Hi,
I received my D Low Whistle today. It arrived safely. I haven't learned to play yet, but I was able to play the scales. It sounds great and looks beautiful! Thank you so much! I've left positive feedback for you.
Thanks, again, Freda Odom, United States

Hi John, got it today and very pleased. Always assumed that a low whistle would be hard to master but as you say, not hard to blow and a sweet tone. Long way to go of course but thanks for pricing it so reasonably and for being so helpful.
Cheers, Mike
