Hi again Moof Thanks for that, but I realise I might have given the wrong impression. It's not my intention to do anything to the Killarney I've ordered. What I meant was that's how I would do it myself, but that isn't likely to happen now, I'm too old to mess about with it. Thirty or fifty years ag...

Hi Jayhawk Yea, I've always been a big fan of Chinese translations :D. Re the head, yes I do intend to try and remove it, but I suspect with the modern adhesives that are used now it may not be possible, I'll let you know. The quality of the tube and it's surprisingly accurate tuning make it well wo...

Hi Moof Thanks for that interesting info, as it happens I do have emphysema so that's good to know. I only play for my own pleasure so the volume is not a problem, well not for me, maybe for the neighbours :D . I've seen other higher end whistles with this appalling machining on the blade and I just...

I've just bought another whistle from Amazon and because it's so ridiculously cheap it won't be going back. It was purely added to an order to make free postage an option, and this time I'm happier. It doesn't appear to have a makers name of any kind, and comes with a generic cloth pouch. I'm going ...

This is very handy info, thanks joemc!

Okay folks, received the beastie yesterday and it's going back today 😊. The machining of the blade area was beyond bad, and a quick toot told me how much of an effect it was having. Maybe I just got a reject, but it made obvious that there's no quality control. This story ends here. https://www.drop...

Thanks for that Moof, I thought perhaps there was a UK site that I couldn't find. I did read the review you referenced, but will still buy it for curiosities sake.

Wow, thanks for that! I can't believe how many whistles this Walmart place sells, unreal. You Americans are so lucky!

Thanks Moof, that's brilliant information. I thought when I looked at it that it had an odd finish, and I now know why. I think I'll also clean it off if I get one. I'd be interested to know where you heard the UK comments from, was it another forum? I hear what you say about the Dixon, I have three...

Yes, you may well be right, I've actually put one in my basket until I've got sufficient to have it delivered free :) Personally I've never owned a tuneable whistle, never had the need as I never play in public. I can't imagine that any whistle will ever please me more than my Tony Dixon 005's (I've...

Hi all
Has anybody tried one of these Amazon whistles? Would be interested in feedback.
