Waltons Brass Mellow Whistle - Key of D - For Beginners, Intermediates, & Experts - Authentic Irish Instruments - Made of Materials

This is a nice whistle! Simple, inexpensive, pleasant tone. As far as the "mellow" goes, it's a whistle, so it is still loud, but less so than others. It is equal to a wood recorder in volume by my ears. I'm sure my neighbours love to hear "Concerning Hobbits" every morning at 6AM! Hey, if they are up late partying the night before, well, this is your solution!

Great sound - both octaves. So good I bought a 2nd one.

This is my first Tin Whistle. It sounds good and I haven't had any issues with it. Easy to play and feels nice in the hand. It's just a little breathy in the second octave, but that's all. Doesn't impact my ability to play in the slightest.

A great Irish Whistle that sells for a very low price. It sounds pretty good, too.

Easy to use, but expect the coating to come off after a few hours of use and I was never able to get the whistle to sound less flat on the higher notes. Went with a different product and found what worked for me instead

The Walton's Mellow D whistle arrived sooner than I expected and in perfect condition. Although I had played some woodwinds (clarinet, alto sax) I had never played a whistle and after a few minutes of struggling, I got the hang of it. Within an hour I was playing in both registers. Intonation sounded fine. The whistle was made of a seamless brass tube (unlike the tin whistles, incidentally, which are made of tinned sheet metal soldered together). The plastic fipple looks and feels durable. The tone sounded more or less what I thought it would sound like and, to my ears, is fine. I particularly like the upper register. The whistle was shipped in a mailing tube so there's your case; it's easy to download a fingering chart off the web if you feel the need but, really, you just put six fingers on the holes and take them off one by one. Repeat for the upper register by blowing a might harder. In all, ten bucks, a neat little whistle. I'm pleased.

Great little tin whistle to learn on. I was surprised at how good it sounded and still sounds. I would have no qualms about recommending this little whistle to anyone that was interested in learning to play.

Although costing more than a "Penny" these days, it's still a terribly inexpensive, yet decent quality instrument to play.

Petite flûte sympa, pour le prix elle est très bien.

I have been playing tin whistle for several years, starting on a Feadog and later adding Clarke Original and Sweetone tin whistles to my collection. Now that I have a Walton, I wish I had gotten it a long time ago because it's simply a better instrument in my opinion. It does not have a seam on the back and does not have a tapered bore like a Clarke, so the low notes are easy to play as clearly as the high notes. It is a bit wider than a Feadog, giving it a more resonate, less shrill tone, which makes it sound much better in the upper octave. I can't compare it to every tin whistle ever made, but it may be the best one in its very affordable price range.

Un simpatico strumentino a fiato che permette di divertirsi a suonare buona parte dei pezzi di musica folk e non solo. Il gambo è di ottone mentre la testata di plastica.

Flażolet brzmi bardzo dobrze w porównaniu do innych z tej półki cenowej. Dźwięk jest czysty i przyjemny dla ucha. Jest też trochę głośniejszy w porównaniu do mojego poprzedniego gwizdka.

Me ha sorprendido muchísimo para el precio que tiene. Lógicamente no se puede comparar con uno artesano de más de 200 euros...pero por el precio de este no he tocado ninguno que le supere. Es correcto en afinación y utiliza muy poco aire. Es ideal para principiantes, sin tener que desesperarse por los sonidos desagradables de un instrumento barato. Si estás buscando tu primer whistle, no lo dudes, este no te defraudará. Gracias por leer mi reseña. Espero te haya sido útil.
