Handcrafted Low D Whistle – Rich, Resonant Tone for Celtic and Irish Music Enthusiasts

For the first time in my life I bought a Flute. After hearing many different low whistles I chose an James Dominic. It has a beautiful deep sound and a affordable price. So now I do practice every day to reach also the high notes. Although my upper hand is a bit overstretcht during playing I am really happy that I choose this Low Wistle.

I was quite happy to receive the whistle, I was really looking forward to it. The shipping time was very reasonable, the packaging was good and protective, and the whistle itself is quite nice. The tones it produces can range from a fairly soft, gentle tone to a loud, bright tone depending on the player's breath. I DID have to use some very very fine emery cloth to smooth off some rough edges on the metal fipple insert, but that was the only things required. It really cannot be overemphasized, for those new to low whistles, to practice the "piper's grip" with the somewhat larger holes than one is used to with higher key whistles. The low D, which was all the rage some years back, required not only the piper's grip, to seal the holes properly, but also a good bit of finger stretch; this one does not require any finger stretch, for an average to large hand, but again, it takes practice to seal the holes properly, lest you get a squeaky squeal which will annoy you and any small animal who hear it. So practice and practice, and you will enjoy this delightful instrument for many years to come.

Fun good quality whistle!!

Just as described and lovely sound quality.

Beautiful sound!

Got whistle, sounds great!!

It has a very mellow tone, not too loud. I’m enjoying it.

Fast delivery. The whistle arrived with a good packgae and is well quality as expectation.

I have a small collection of tin whistles and these are quickly becoming my favorite. They are low enough that I can practice without everyone else in the house being angry. The breath control and finger spread work really well and overall they sound great. Great job!

Beautiful sound. Glad I bought this.

Good sound, relatively easy to play on first try

I bought this Low F whistle with the intention of getting something sturdy and affordable to experiment with. The thing seems nearly indestructible. Going from a high whistle to a low whistle definitely takes some getting use to. Fingering is completely different and requires a completely different approach. It'll be frustrating for the first day or two. I transitioned fairly quickly though. It has a nice sound and I'm just really enjoying it so far. I'm glad someone is making an affordable option like this. It's nothing fancy but it works great and suits my needs well.

Full disclosure, I am very much a beginner. I'm giving a beginner's opinion. As a beginner I think this is a great whistle for getting started.

Great book for beginners, I like pdf formats for using with tablets/phone. I keep a whistle in my truck & practice when I have a break.

If you play tin whistle and bagpipes, you will find it very easy. You don't play this low whistle, you just deliver the sound that is trapped inside. A great pleasure.

Another excellent whistle from an excellent manufacturer. I have been learning the whistle for about 18 months and wanted something that sounded different from my D whistles. The tone of this whistle is hauntingly beautiful and I love playing some of the Lord of the Rings tunes on it.
Many thanks
