Thomann Irish Whistle D Reviews

Good value

The two pieces fit together snug and overall it feels fairly solid and not like a toy. It also has a pretty good tone. All things considered it's a good value.

Good for pitch bending!

Plays in tune easy as well!

Its ok

Its ok for the money or Like a toy flute :)

Just get one

Never had a whistle before, or played a similar instrument.

Got one just to try it. At this price point, there is little reason I think to fault it. I got a lot of enjoyment out of this, well worth the money.

For beginners

This whistle is average whistle. If you are beginner and You don't want to pay so much. Yes this is your first whistle. :)

Easy to play.

Irish whistle

Whistle comes with a case at this price point extreme value ,if a booklet of songs came with it I would rate it 5stars ,can't complain with it ,it's well made .

Great flute for beginners and fans of 'loud'

I play flute, bagpipes and lute in a historical street musical theatre group where I have to compete with up to 5 guild drums. These whistles are very much up to the task of making themselves heard amongst the drums.

Some of my group members are learning to play the whistle as well and for this price the whistles are very good beginners instruments.

Yes, they are a bit loud, especially in the upper octave, but hey, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

So if you want to buy a very good whistle for concerts, this may not be the one, but if you want to start out or you need volume, this is certainly a good way to go.

Beautiful instrument

I'm Irish & just wanted a little something that reminded me of home, of growing up & learning to play the tin whistle in school.

Of course it's not the best tin whistle in the world, but more than functional, and if you're looking for "that sound" then look no further.

Best Bang for Buck

Best bang for buck!

Clear tone and spot on tuning.

The second octave is a little more difficult (as compared to an expensive whistle).

Overall - a great whistle - recommended.

Irish boy

It's made of plastic, but it has a sound that would make Molly Malone happy.

Great for the price

I have a few Irish whistles at this stage and I wanted to try out this plastic one to see how it sounds. It feels a little more like playing a recorder, because of the mouth piece, larger body and slightly bigger holes. I'm used to the Feadog tin whistles. It sounds more mellow and I like the sound. The high C is a bit squeaky though.

Overall, it's great to play around with and explore different timbres.

Sound is very good.

Easy to play every note.

Even the high notes are crystal clear

Very nice solid whistle

Very similar to the famous Susato whistle, its probably based on its design. Great session whistle with loud clear tone and easy to play. Fantastic price for what you get!

I am more used to playing a straight Nickle Tin whistle but I got this as a back up to carry around and I was corious as to what it would be like. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of it although it takes a bit more air to play it and it takes a little getting used. Once you get used to it it is great and for the price you could not go wrong.

Awsome for beginners

I bought this because I wanted to get into playing wind instruments and it fit my budget perfectly. It sounds good, it looks good quality. I have to admit I'm not the best at using it but for the limited skill I have I can say that It is good.

Solid look and good sound

I always wanted some flutes around my home studio, if i have a mood for recording some folk music.

I feared this instrument becouse the other feedbacks, maybe i'm lucky one, but mine - for restarter, who played at elementary school - its working good. Its easy to play, dont need much air, two octave sounds nice, tuned well.

And its cool black!

Great instrument for beginners or kids

My seven year loves this! Great instrument for the price!

Feels good and sounds great. They will be using this as an introduction to music and music theory.

Would recommend and buy again.

Excellent value

I just included this whistle with a bulk order to have as a spare. I wasn't expecting much given the price but I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. This whistle is incredible value and is almost on a par with other whistles I have which were a lot more expensive.

The whistle produces a very clean and true tone with plenty of volume even at the upper octave. Considering there is also a case included it must be said that this whistle offers exceptional value!

im not a flutist

I bought this to learn how to play the flute. Its a plastic penny whistle. Pitch isnt perfect and i find it hard to play since im a n00b at woodwinds. I have learned a little but cant blame the lack of progress on the flute. Its probably ok.

Not quite right

I'm a flutist and a flutemaker and I purchased this whistle basically for the mouthpiece. The whistle is very well made, with the detachable mouthpiece, thus tunable. But as far as the sound goes, it chokes. The second register plays ok, but the first one chokes when you push it a bit when playing accents like in Irish music.
