Tony DixonAlloy Low G Whistle

Good low whistle, but hard to play (only because I'm not very good at wind instruments)

Positives:- Consistent mellow sound across both octaves- Good intonation- Forgiving in terms of required air flow- Excellent learning instrument- Reasonably pricedNegatives:- Neck joint can become stiff (or even stuck), making tuning & removal difficult- Requires considerable effort to warm up the instrument prior to playing- A little heavy for a G whistle- Air-heavy 'breathy' sound, especially in the lower octave (not to my personal taste)It can't be understated that finding a tuneable low G for this price with decent construction is fantastic! If you're an intermediate player (or interested in moving in the direction of low whistles and/or pipes) this is a great halfway point as it accommodates a player learning the ropes of the piper's grip while retaining decent hole spacing.

This whistle has an odd squeeky sound, as if the mouth piece isn't quite right. Definitely not my playing because I play bigger whistles without any problems

Good quality assurance

This has a lovely sound. I shall enjoy learning to play it.

Hmmm jury is still out on this whistle, it is harder to play well than I thought. Did realise eventually it’s more puff than you would at first think. For now I’m not sure I would recommend it.
