Not for beginners.
A bit disappointing. You have to be inch perfect with these A whistles with hole coverage and breath pressure it seems to be a thing with them. Overall a bit disappointing it's certainly not a whistle for beginners
Disappointed in this whistle
I will start by saying that I own a Chieftain Low D which plays nicely but this whistle proves a direct scale up does not work. It chokes incredibly easy with the smallest amount of moisture and the D breaks and is very uneven (due to the hole size). You can get around this somewhat if you use a modified piper's grip and it will choke less if you use a flute-like mouth position. The tone is nice once you get it warmed and going but it is uneven and has a slow response. Not worth the trouble
My oh my what a whistle
I was totally taken by surprise when l started playing this whistle. What a range, almost three octaves the first evening and counting with no real problems. This is so much more dynamic than the soprano whistles l already have. When my technique get a little better three octaves will be well within reach. So much sound requires more control than a smaller whistle, that is true like someone here already pointed out. It will take some time to master this, but it works so effortlessly. This whistle is simply amazing though, and l think it has every note l will play in a forseeable future. Very happy l got this.
