Product Description
Tuneable Polymer Low D Whistle
Tony Dixon Music is a family run business that was founded in 1997. Tony is a manufacturer and retailer of high quality, hand finished Traditional Flutes and Whistles. Having played concert flute since he was a boy, it has always been a passion of his, which he has now transferred into the simple system flutes and whistles that he makes today. Suitable for all ages and abilities, this Low D Whistle features a lightweight, tapered bore aimed specifically at entry level students. The tapered body was designed to give a richer tone for an ABS instrument, the by-product of which is a smoother transition over the octave break. Its light weight also helps with the ergonomics when moving up to a larger instrument. The head is removable which provides the ability to tune the instrument and also facilitates easier cleaning. The body for this whistle also has the advantage of fitting Tony Dixon's tenor flute head, turning it into an excellent beginner's simple system flute. Features of the Tony Dixon Polymer Low Whistle:

Reviews of The Tuneable Polymer Low D Whistle (TB012) by Tony Dixon   'Terrific Sound Super light, easy to play, and a great timbre especially in the upper register!'- Paul K. 'Beautiful sound. My son was so excited to receive this for Christmas. He's been wanting one for a long time and the quality of this was exceptional'.- Lisa O. 'I got what I wanted - really clean sound, smooth octave-changing. Uses little air, so I can focus on the practicing of the fingers. The customer service was great too.'- Gulyas B. About The Maker
Much like McNeela Instruments, Tony Dixon prides himself with producing quality at an affordable price.
Inspiration first struck when Tony’s son came home from school one day wanting to learn the flute. With his son being of a young age, and the probability of him having a new favourite instrument tomorrow being quite likely, Tony decided to give a go at making a simple six hole flute to see if the commitment would last.
The head teacher of his son’s school admired Tony’s initial effort and suggested he try and market it as an entry level instrument. Tony took the advice and sent it to a distributor who liked it and immediately placed an order and the rest, as they say, is history! Today his quality instruments are sold and played worldwide.

I try to carry a whistle with me everywhere, yet some are too fragile to drag around to bonfires. This beast loves the outdoors and is a great companion. Great sound and good fun, the dawn chorus seems to like it a lot.

Safe to bring kayak camping. Great sound! Doesn’t mind the rain. My whistles have a rugged life with me, this one is sturdy and up for the challenges.

Purchased as a gift! So far I haven’t heard about any issues with the whistle. Package arrived in excellent condition and in a very timely manner.

A really nice toned Low D whistle at a reasonable price. Well made and not loose. You could pay more and expect less. This following a G whistle earlier in the year.

It's the perfect whistle to start with Low D. It has a nice and mellow sound, the upper octaves are easy to reach, and it doesn't need much air. Another plus is the polymer, which doesn't need to be warmed up and is light enough to play for a longer time even for a beginner. Keep in mind that it is almost twice as big as the normal whistle, so you will need at least the lower hand, if not both, in piper's grip, which can be difficult for a beginner. As for handling and shipping, it was perfectly packaged and got delivered so fast from Ireland to Germany.
