Kunath Pentatonic 7-Tone Recorder

Based on 2 reviews
I bought this flute about four months ago specifically to just play it, without any sheet music, without having something to study. A few youtube video's lead me to choose this specific pentatonic flute. First, I came across a video of someone playing this flute and it sounded so lovey. So I got interested and looked for more info, and found another video that was useful because it mentioned the fingering. I like the system in fingering. The holes for your right middle finger and your right little finger are closed because, ofcourse, this is a pentatonic flute in D. I really like that the lowest note has the same fingering as a D on a soprano recorder and you don't play the low D with your little finger but with the ring finger of your right hand. The flute arrived soon after I ordered...
Kerry Whistles Busker Mezzo Tunable Bb

Based on 2 reviews
I just love Kerry whistles. My favourite Busker is Bb because it's a bit different than other Busker whistles I own (D, A and G). Bb whistle have smaller holes then other in The Busker line so it sounds lighter and it's a bit quieter. Smaller holes don't affect to expression posibilities when played. On the body there is also some other engravings (website and serial number) so I presume that I got newer version of whistle. The sound is a bit raspy in high octave, but it is not annoying or bad raspy sound. It have character and I like it. I'm recording with my Kerry whistles, and they are very good with intonation. You just have to warm it a little bit. It's tunable, that was my priority with every whistle I chose. The craftsmanship is superb. It's durable...
Clarke Sweetone Tinwhistle C-Major R

Based on 2 reviews
I use this whistle for playing folk music. It gives a good contrast when played with other melody instruments. I like the red colour but it probably makes no difference to the sound. The Sweetone sound seems more reliable than other whistles I have used. It seems rich, not thin. The sound holes can be easily felt. It doesn't tend to squeak so much when mistakes are made. Playing in the key of F is also easy on this whistle. Overall the best whistle for me, and at a good price.
Kerry Whistles Optima Cobre Soprano C

Based on 1 reviews
In a video on the kerrywhistle.com website Phil Hardy plays this whistle and he says «It takes virtually no air.» This is very true. When you play the lower octave you need to be careful and not blow too hard. If you do you will be in the second octave before you know it. So, it takes some time getting used to this, but when you get used to it, this whistle is a bundle of joy. I love the way it sounds, it’s great response, and how easy it is to play. For me who is not a low-D whistle player this whistle suits me much better than for example the Busker high-D. The Busker requires a lot more air than the Cobre, but in return you get a richer sound. However, l am very happy with this Cobre whistle, and the key of C is a good choice for the tunes l am playing. I have no...
Clarke Sweetone Tinwhistle D-Major S

Based on 8 reviews
The tin whistle is a fun instrument, and it doesn't break the bank either. Although this whistle is made from plastic and not metal, I think the sound is excellent. This particular one is black, although multiple colors are offered.The only exception from the black appearance is the figure of a man performing a little dance whilst playing the whistle, together with the text "The original Sweetone". The tin whistle has six holes at the top, and no thumb hole at the bottom. The pinkies of each hand are therefore not used other than for balance. Same goes for both thumbs. I imagine that this makes the instrument somewhat easier to play than the recorder for beginners. I personally feel that it also makes it easier to play a scale, the way the the instrument is designed. The...
Clarke Pennywhistle D- Major

Based on 9 reviews
This tin whistle is quieter than the Clarke Sweetone. Its tone is soft and airy, and it lacks the high-end crisp of the Sweetones -- this is nice especially for playing airs and slower reels, but I'm not sure if the sound would cut through when playing with a band. The whistle has an "old-school" wooden fipple, which I found slightly harder to make a sound with than the standard plastic fipples. Finally, I must say that this pipe looks very pretty, so it is also a nice piece of decoration!
Clarke Sweetone Tinwhistle D-Major G

Based on 3 reviews
I'm not a professional whistle player, I bought this whistle along with 3 others to learn and try them. And, of course, for fun :-) This one is built well (it has only 2 pieces - a metal body and a plastic mouthpiece) and is quite stable in terms of the sound - It the plastic mouthpiece makes it quite reliable and predictable compared to whistles with wooden parts in the mouthpiece. I like the sound and it's easy to use. I know other whistles that sound better to my ear but they also cost much more. This one is very simple, but sometimes less is more :-)
Clarke Victorian Tinwhistle D- Major

Based on 8 reviews
I love Tin Whistles. They are fine little Instruments, easy to learn to play and must not be very expensive. The truth is, one of the cheapest are one of the best. The Clarkes are surley one of them and every collector should have Clarkes The Clarke Original ?Victorian? Tin whistle in D is in the shape of the first Clarkes (the first tin whistles ever) roled pure tin with a wooden block in the mouthpiece and its unpainted as the real original clarked in the Victorian time. Don?t worry about the low prize, you will get a real and good instrument. These Tin whistle are no toys and you can make real music on it strongly recommend this whistle for beginners and advanced players/collectors or better get 2, one for you and one as a present ;-)
Clarke Sweetone Tinwhistle D-Major R

Based on 5 reviews
I ordered this flute for my husband and own two of the black ones (key d and c) for about nine years. I have played several other whistles for about the same price and like the Clarke Sweetone most. I have played this whistle in a folkrock band, in church and as a solo street musician. Quality: The plastic mouthpiece hasn't any sharp edges. The same with the body of the whistle. It's coated with a thin layer of paint. None of it is worn of after two or even nine years of usage. It's very hard to really damage the whistle. I've dropped it several times. I think it's a nice and inexpensive instrument for children or to take anywhere with you. Sound and response: This whistle doesn't need very much air to play. The overblowing is quite easy to manage, even for a beginner. The sound is...
