Clarke Tinwhistle CWD Celtic D Whistle - Dark Green

It is what it is, a cheap but toneful Celtic Whistle. No issues achieving 3 octaves with it, and it plays quite well. The 2 lower tone holes can be awkward to seal in fast play, but it's a cheap whistle, you don't get perfection at £7. This, however, is as close as that price allows. Great whistle for beginners, students, and even for pro's who wish to carry something inexpensive for impromptu performing.

Delivered today, and I am very pleased. The whistle plays well, and you only have to blow gently to get down to the D octave. The first tune I knocked out was Danny boy, and I loved it. This will be great to take to parties with my Irish friends for this xmas and new year celebrations, if we can meet during this virus pandemic that is. For the price, I just cannot knock it at all, it will be a great tin whistle to take around with me wherever I roam. I highly recommend beginners to start with this, then as you progress, you can then go for one of the hand made ones costing a few hundred quid. I play saxophone, so this was just an instrument to play all my favourite Irish jigs with for pure fun with friends. Sláinte 👍❤

After reading information on various websites I decided I wanted a conical whistle and I chose this one because I liked the design best. Please note that this is a standard Clarke Sweetone with a different paint job. I recieved my Traditional Clarke Celtic Tin Whistle today and started playing it straight away. What a lovely sound! I play several musical instruments including soprano recorder, flute and soprano saxophone. So I know how to read music and how to blow into a woodwind instrument. My new whistle has a mellow, full, clear sound in the lower octave and a full, stronger sound in the higher octave. This is the first tin whistle I've played and I love it! Today I've practised 'Cooley's Reel' and it's coming along nicely although I can't play it fast enough yet. The only thing that surprised me a little is that this whistle is a little quieter than a soprano recorder, I expected it to be a little louder. However, the whistle is wonderfully in tune with the yamaha recorder my son plays. The whistle is shorter than a soprano recorder but the holes are spaced virtually identically. For someone with very big hands it might be rather a small instrument to play, but I have very small hands and this whistle is the perfect size. My seven year old son can easily reach all the holes as well. I would recommend this tin whistle to anyone who wants to play!

It's good value for money. I like the tone and the volume but the ridge down the back of the tube where the metal sheet is joined is an uncomfortable distraction. This whistle will do for the time being but I'll definitely be saving up for something very much better.

I bought two - one for my five year old and one for myself. Guess who’s winning in the enthusiasm scale! We’re learning together but I need ear plugs however, I always know where she is now! I think you’ll need simple songs to learn from some additional purchase.

Great price, nice sound, and can hit the high notes. This is my second tin whistle.

Perfect for little hands. My daughter who is 7, switched over from a polymer whistle to this at Christmas and can see an improvement in her playing, down to the tapered barrel it is easier for little hands to cover the holes better we find on the lower end of the scale. The tone of the whistle is also lovely.

This is not a proper tin whistle. The body should maintain the same circumference all the way through, like a pipe, but this one gets narrower at the tip. I’ve never seen anything like it. Unfortunately, the return window has closed, so the money is wasted. Do not buy this tin whistle.
