But, hey, that's what I was looking for. It's a beginner's whistle. You learn on this. It doesn't sound very good at all. The holes are huge. A child's fingers wouldn't be able to completely cover the holes. It would be so frustrating.
There is a book with some instructions on how to use it. Then it has the tablature for like two dozen songs. The songs are basic like old McDonald had a farm. You learn on these easy simple tunes. It also comes with a CD. Who uses CDs? My computer doesn't even have a CD port. But the CD has recordings of someone playing the songs in the book.
This is a fantastic starter kit to learn. Yeah.
4)It’s very easy to learn if you have prior experience on other wind instruments, like flute and recorder. I really wouldn’t recommend this for a beginner. I would recommend getting a recorder and learning on that first. This instrument is a bit touchy and can be temperamental. It’s more difficult to play an instrument who’s register (range) is so high. (i.e. a flute is easier to learn to play than a piccolo) If you have a lot of experience playing a recorder or a flute, you’ll have no problem with this. A couple of the fingerings are just a bit different than flute fingerings, but it was easy to adjust.
Now for the whistle. The Mellow D is a larger bore brass D whistle by Walton's and has a more subdued tone, but still sounds beautiful and to my ear preferable to the basic Walton's Whistle. The head is moveable so tuning us possible, and transitions between octaves are easily made. It easily plays in two octaves but the air requirements get pretty demanding and the tone sharpens dramatically especially going for the third. This is a great beginner instrument, but should please even the most experienced players as well.
I gave 5 stars, but I took it down to 4 in voicing my opinion only... I hope it does not rust or something from having to correct the hole. the sound is almost perfect now, but it still, as I said, whistles. way higher than any of the other notes, like 2.5 -3 times higher.
On more rare occasions the E' does it which I can live with but I am more troubled by the D' note.
