Waltons 1514 Tin Whistle, Brass, D Tube, 6 Languages Instruction Manual (English Language Not Guaranteed) / Instruction Manual Demo CD Included

Just started getting into Celtic Rock/Punk and decided to get this to play along. lol I think I need to practice some more before I start a band. lol The whistle seems to be well constructed and relatively easy to play, I think there’s just a steeper learning curve than I expected. For the record, I play several other instruments so I understand how that goes. Definitely worth the purchase, even if you get it just to annoy your kids and play “Concerning Hobbits”. lol

Nice

This tin whistle is a Christmas gift but it’s packaged well . The price was good.

Nicely packaged and a really nice brass whistle instrument (not a toy). I look forward to learning to play it.

I had to use a drill bit on the top hole as it was sounding like a police whistle instead of a tin whistle... it barely helped.. a little disappointed, but I am still a fan of the company. The top whole also had a small sliver of tin in the hole I plucked out with tweezers, but for some reason the hole still wants to let out a police whistle.. I don't mind the squeaks and such it has naturally, but the high sometimes train whistle sound (does that too) just throws me off and disheartens me to play it at all. I gave 5 stars, but I took it down to 4 in voicing my opinion only... I hope it does not rust or something from having to correct the hole. the sound is almost perfect now, but it still, as I said, whistles. way higher than any of the other notes, like 2.5 -3 times higher. On more rare occasions the E' does it which I can live with but I am more troubled by the D' note.

This is a cheap toy. But, hey, that's what I was looking for. It's a beginner's whistle. You learn on this. It doesn't sound very good at all. The holes are huge. A child's fingers wouldn't be able to completely cover the holes. It would be so frustrating. There is a book with some instructions on how to use it. Then it has the tablature for like two dozen songs. The songs are basic like old McDonald had a farm. You learn on these easy simple tunes. It also comes with a CD. Who uses CDs? My computer doesn't even have a CD port. But the CD has recordings of someone playing the songs in the book. This is a fantastic starter kit to learn. Yeah.

I'm not an experienced Penny whistler however I do play flute and this little gem appears to be solid. Plays well just learning to adjust my breath to hit that low "D" Came with no dents in a cardboard box with a little music leaflet with fingering instructions and 3 short tunes. "Ode to Joy" sounds weird because of the key but I appreciate it anyway. Did not come with a case but for this price it's not surprising. I bought a little recorder case pictured which fits pretty well it was about $5

I'm sorry that I missed the return window for this product. It is not that easy to learn and no matter how hard I tried, it sounded like I was strangling a cat. I watched online videos for beginners -- that didn't help. I literally tried everything. I will probably just donate this to my local library for their book sale. It comes with a book and a CD but neither were very helpful. I ended up ordering something a little more expensive from a reputable source in Ireland. Hopefully that will work out better for me. I play the dulcimer so wanted to have something to give variety to my music --- this wasn't it!

Arrived on time. My husband loves it. He’s learner to play. Item is as described

Très bien pour démarrer l'apprentissage de la flûte irlandaise, CD et partition. Flûte en laiton, bec plastique. Se complète bien avec un tuto sur le web. Achat à recommander.

Für 10 Euro ist die Tin Whistle total zu empfehlen. Ich wollte mit irischer Musik anfangen und mir einmal ansehen, ob die Tin Whistle ein geeignetes Instrument für mich ist. Der Klang ist nicht so schön "rauchig" wie man ihn bei besseren Modellen kennt. Aber es kommen Töne raus und auch in den Höhen lässt sie sich mit etwas Übung gut spielen. (Man muss dazu sagen, dass ich schon viele Musikinstrumente spiele. Jeder, der Blockflöte spielen kann, sollte schnell mit der Tin Whistle spielen können) Das Buch ist sehr hilfreich, sodass man schnell die Griffe lernt. Und auch unter den einzelnen Liedern steht unter jeder Note der entsprechende Griff, sodass man auch ohne Notenkenntnisse schon schnell alte und neue irische Lieder spielen kann. Die CD habe ich mir angehört. Darauf ist nicht nur die Stimme der Tin Whistle von den jeweiligen Liedern aus dem Buch, sondern auch zusätzlich noch Begleitung. Für blutige Anfänger sicher hilfreich, für mich jedoch nicht zwingend notwenig. Insgesamt hat sich der Kauf für mich gelohnt. Ich habe mir mittlerweile ein paar sehr gute gebrauchte Tin Whistles zugelegt. Allen Anfängern empfehle ich den Kauf.

It was a good little whistle,lovely it being from Ireland in a lovely box ,just was a bit annoyed with the postage as it was more than the whistle

Brilliant
