Waltons Blue Whistle Tube - Fun & Colorful Tin Whistle - Key of D - Irish & International Instrument - Perfect for Beginners

- First, packaging: it was perfect! The tin whistle looked protected in its plastic case, but the tube packaging definitely added more protection and padding.- the tin whistle itself is just too cute. Yellow is my 10 YO daughter’s favourite colour. She was thrilled to have her own. I have already the Little Black D so I’m familiar with this model. It’s not expensive, quite solid, light weight, and easy to play right away.Of course, it requires practice (I already pictured myself playing along The Corrs when I got my first tin whistle). It’s a bit airy in the high notes, but practice will help control the pitch.It comes with some instructions (notes, finger chart) and a sheet music for 3 melodies.I’ve just placed an order for the blue tin whistle for my oldest daughter… our neighbours are going to be SO happy 😅

My child lost two of these before buying the green one (her favorite color!) Now she has it with her everywhere. She is learning well.

These feel and look better than the ones you get from the classical conversations page. We had bought 2 CC ones and one the ripple broke completely and the other doesn't feel far behind. These feel sturdy. Also prime delivery instead of whatever you'd have to pay from the CC store if your don't have an order over $100.My girls love having the choice of their own color too.

I bought a pink whistle for my daughter to begin learning. It works. I have another Walton whistle that is a different shape, and it affects the tone. I prefer the tone of the other whistle, but this one gets the job done well enough.

We love this brand of tin whistle for CC

I got the whistles in different colors because I’m teaching my girls to play whistle. Waltons make a nice sounding whistle that is consistent in production.I’ve collected almost every economy whistle (under $80, usually under $30) there is, including ones that have not been made for decades. I like a few other whistles well, but I can’t say I like them better than Waltons.As to some bad reviews I saw: the whistle is a diatonic instrument. I has the notes you need to play Irish trad (dance) music. D, G, e, a and a couple other modalities. Also, don’t sit on them, don’t drive over them, don’t use them to open paint cans. They are plenty sturdy if you don’t treat them poorly.

Everyone is jealous of my pink tin whistle at Classical Conversations, however I don't love that the mechanics of this whistle seem to be a little bit off. Certain notes can't be achieved without a shrill whistle, and I suspect a flaw in the craftsmanship.

Good quality. Works for CC
