Folksy and good.
This is folksy instrument.Very easy to play.I mean you just take it from package put your fingers on holes as shown on finger chart and play.Sure this kind of instrument doesn't really have all #,b notes-but it seems it never was created for this purpose either.If you want to play Irish tunes-this is your instrument.The thing is, it is not that complicated in comparison to say regular recorder, where in order to play one note sometimes several fingers should be used.Here as you open one hole after another, you have one note after another.In order to play on second octave use more breath pressure with the same fingering position you use in playing first octave.I would say playing isn't easy-it's elementary.I find myself more and more enjoying this instruments at expense of my Yamaha alto recorder.Easy, so easy.Of course, the sound of the note isn't as pure as it is on recorder, in a way it's kind of windy, so after training a little you will be able to produce this beautiful Irish-Scottish intonation, which in my opinion, not quite possible using regular recorder.

Whistle while you work (don't actually do that).
This is my first penny whistle and I'm very satisfied with it. It has one of the shortest learning curves and a wonderful sound. It's an excellent instrument despite the misleading plastic mouthpiece. However, after a while the finish starts to come off; which doesn't affect the overall sound but does add a nice little "folksy" look.

P.S. Moisture will build up in the mouthpiece, be sure to clean it out every once and a while.

An all-around good whistle
A Walton's Irish D whistle was my first after a beat-up Sweetone I got my kid. The Walton has a good full sound and just a touch of chiff. It is hard to get into the upper range when you're starting out but once you get there the notes are fairly solid and reliable.

However, I found the C to be an even better instrument, as it isn't even hard to get into the upper range. ... Read more

It's just a blue whistle.
What I was expecint was a decent train-sounding whistle.What I got was worse than that.It is very high pitched (in a G note).That's about 4 notes too high.It gets one star for the pretty royal blue paint and train decal painted on the side.And it gets a second star for actually working.That's it.

If you really want the sound that makes you smile in surprise--you know, the one with the deep, resonating overtones backing the shrill of white steam--you'll get the cedar wood Duluth Train Whistle.

This blue one is just too high-pitched, lacks the body, resonance, volume, and tonal range to sound authentic or to trigger your inner locomitive engineer.If the pretty blue color sucks you in, be satisfied if that's all you get.

High D is most popular model as this is what much Irish as well as other whistle and flute music is written in. Low D is popular for those that want to play lower and have a little more of a unique whistle. C is next in popularity due to the lack of sharps and flats in the music. Other keys should only be ordered if you have an explicit need for those keys and clearly understand the difference in the keys. ... Read more
