WaltonsBlue Whistle Tube - Fun & Colorful Tin Whistle - Key of D - Irish & International Instrument - Perfect for Beginners

Very cute. Durable and sounds good. Daughter loved the color.

These flutes or tin whistles are great. Our kids use them for a music class and enjoy playing with them at home too. Earplugs may help with practice 😉

- First, packaging: it was perfect! The tin whistle looked protected in its plastic case, but the tube packaging definitely added more protection and padding.- the tin whistle itself is just too cute. Yellow is my 10 YO daughter’s favourite colour. She was thrilled to have her own. I have already the Little Black D so I’m familiar with this model. It’s not expensive, quite solid, light weight, and easy to play right away.Of course, it requires practice (I already pictured myself playing along The Corrs when I got my first tin whistle). It’s a bit airy in the high notes, but practice will help control the pitch.It comes with some instructions (notes, finger chart) and a sheet music for 3 melodies.I’ve just placed an order for the blue tin whistle for my oldest daughter… our neighbours are going to be SO happy 😅

These feel and look better than the ones you get from the classical conversations page. We had bought 2 CC ones and one the ripple broke completely and the other doesn't feel far behind. These feel sturdy. Also prime delivery instead of whatever you'd have to pay from the CC store if your don't have an order over $100.My girls love having the choice of their own color too.

I bought a pink whistle for my daughter to begin learning. It works. I have another Walton whistle that is a different shape, and it affects the tone. I prefer the tone of the other whistle, but this one gets the job done well enough.

I got the whistles in different colors because I’m teaching my girls to play whistle. Waltons make a nice sounding whistle that is consistent in production.I’ve collected almost every economy whistle (under $80, usually under $30) there is, including ones that have not been made for decades. I like a few other whistles well, but I can’t say I like them better than Waltons.As to some bad reviews I saw: the whistle is a diatonic instrument. I has the notes you need to play Irish trad (dance) music. D, G, e, a and a couple other modalities. Also, don’t sit on them, don’t drive over them, don’t use them to open paint cans. They are plenty sturdy if you don’t treat them poorly.

This Walton’s tin whistle is noticeably more finicky with breath and harder to keep in tune than my old one. I have 2 kids that play sometimes and am adding a 3rd. There’s just no way a kindergartner can play this in tune when I can only get it right after warming it up for several minutes. When you don’t get it just right, sometimes it almost has a strange humming sound to go along with the terrible out of pitch noise that won’t change regardless of how I’m breathing. The barrels are shaped differently, so maybe that has something to do with it. I’m returning it and paying for the shipping on a better brand (still pink, of course!)

My child lost two of these before buying the green one (her favorite color!) Now she has it with her everywhere. She is learning well.
