Tony Dixon Pro High D Whistle - Brass

Ordered on Monday, and delivery was to the next Monday. Happy with that. It actually came on Wednesday morning! Great service from One to One music. Highly recommend them. Whistle is great: lovely tone and tuneable. Tony Dixon makes great instruments (I also have a TD low D whistle which is super). Perhaps a bit quiet for group playing (not an issue if mixed up though) but absolutely super for playing in the house but, make no mistake, this is not just a “practice” instrument! Recommend most highly.

The Tony Dixon Pro High D Whistle is highly regarded among professional and amateur musicians alike. Its craftsmanship, quality materials, and attention to detail are often praised, and many musicians appreciate its clear and responsive tone. The ergonomic design also makes it comfortable to play, even for extended periods. One thing to note is that the Pro High D Whistle is a more advanced whistle that may require some experience to play well, especially for those new to whistles. It's also on the higher end in terms of price, but I personally feel that it's worth the investment for its exceptional quality and performance. Overall, if you're a serious musician looking for a high-quality whistle, the Tony Dixon Pro High D Whistle is definitely worth considering. Its exceptional craftsmanship and tone make it a top-notch instrument that many musicians (including myself) swear by.

I bought this after seeking an upgrade to my generation whistles. It is the first mid-tier whistle I've owned and its very nice to play and is quite nicely intonated. The tone, of course, does not compare to metal or wood but it is surprisingly pleasing and mellow. It makes for a useful whistle for intermediate learners as it isn't too loud. I would totally recommend it for this price range and I'm happy with the purchase.

Like other reviewers I bought the Tony Dixon whistle having viewed the 'CutiePie' review on Youtube. I play mostly fretted instruments: guitar, mandolin, banjo, etc. so was looking for an instrument with sustain for playing slow airs, waltzes, and so on. I had tried to learn whistle many years ago which may help to explain why the instrument came very naturally to me (one tune seemed to pop out ready formed - I suspected it was an O'Carolan tune and sure enough when I checked in an old book of session tunes it was 'Fanny Power'!) First of all the whistle was bang in tune out of the box. It is tuneable but my one didn't need any tweaking (a very handy option, though, when playing with other musicians). Love the tone - mellow and flutey. Some reviewers have mentioned a slight lack of volume and while this may be an issue when playing in a noisy session I certainly wasn't aware of it when playing at home. I found it very easy to play. Even as a novice I had no problem with octave changes, fingerings or hole coverage (all things which ARE a problem on my recently acquired low D whistle!) 'Noisy session' caveats aside, this is a lovely whistle which should appeal to whistlers of all standards - just ask CutiePie!

This is the first time I've played a polymer whistle and, if I'm honest, I wasn't expecting much from it when I took it out of the packaging. It's much lighter to hold than the traditional tin whistles I've played in the past, and somewhat akin to a piece of plastic piping you'd find in a DIY shop! What a pleasant surprise, then, to start playing and find everything about it an absolute joy. The lightness is a bonus, it has a lovely mellow tone, the mouthpiece is very comfortable, and the upper registers effortless to reach. Really nothing I can find to fault it on. Well worth the money!

Very light feels like a toy doesn’t play properly. It whistles.

I bought this after watching a review. It’s certainly lived up to it. So easy to play, even the high octave. It’s tuneable though I haven’t done that yet as I’m still learning. Good if you play with other instruments though. It’s fairly quiet, which suits me as the neighbours can’t hear. Not had it long so I’m looking forward to playing it.

A good whistle, as Dixon's usually are. It doesn't need much breath to play, it has a good clean sound on the lower octave and a decent sound on the higher octave. Nice quality overall. The only thing i'd mention is that the holes are closer together than on a whistle like a Generation for example, so depending on your personal preference, that might be a good or a bad thing.
