Feadog Brass D Whistle, FW01, One Size

Good reseller and good quality Irish made product. Hopefully I’ll get better (it’s just day one).

RIP to my neighbours lol. Perfect sound - if you're getting 'squeaky', you're either not blowing hard enough or you're blowing too hard. Experiment with it! My only gripe is that it gets clogged easy and sometimes doesn't last a whole song before it needs blowing out. It's a cute little whistle in D, and I've found it really easy to get used to. Andrea from the Corrs used this very brand of whistle because she kept losing them - so if it sounds bad, get practising! :D

It was super cheap and I had my eye on it for a while. I think it's perfect for beginners if you don't want to waste money and just learn how it works. I plan on playing it as a very minor hobby so it's fine. However, higher notes tend to sound not so good (or maybe I'm still bad at playing?) even in the lower octave. So keep that in mind. I guess it might vary from product to product but that's my experience. The packaging is pretty basic and I'll probably look into getting something else to keep it in. Overall, a good whistle!

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.

Same reaction upon receipt of my C, I was extremely happy. It was a dream for me to buy a tin whistle as I am located in the Philippines, where no one knows what this instrument was. It is rather hard for us to buy a tin whistle here, but thanks to Amazon, things are easier than you thought it was! I have a Clarke Meg Black and Green D, but this one is far more better. Aside from the material (brass), I can play along with my band because it is a bit louder but still mellow sounding. I can play my favourite Irish tunes better! I was extremely happy with the shipping as well, because a lot of packages that I purchased from the US disappointed me because of the long delays. This one is fast and efficient. I would recommend this to my friends and I'm sure they would love to shop here too. Thank you Amazon and Feadog! :)

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.

Beautiful whistle, seems good quality

Good
