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.

Love the sound It's going to take my small hands a bit of time to figure out a piper's grip, but I love the sound of this whistle. It sounds half way to a clarinet.

Thanks for leaving a review, Peter - it's greatly appreciated! It does take some time for the fingers to adapt to a piper's grip. With a bit of patience I'm sure you'll get there in no time. Best of luck!

Great Instrument and Excellent Customer Service Thanks for a great whistle. I'm a classically trained flutist who enjoys the Irish whistle. I've owned a high D whistle for many years and decided to branch out to the the low D. This whistle doesn't disappoint. Many thanks to Conor for his excellent customer service too!

I absolutely love this, my first low D whistle. It sounds great and I soon learnt to handle the stretch. I was concerned about the purchase as so many people had said that any low D would be too difficult but after a bit of research and reading the reviews I opted for this particular whistle and I couldn’t be happier.

Lovely mellow sound. Light weight makes it easy for a beginner to handle. Very quick delivery in good packaging. I'm enjoying getting to (pipers) grip with this instrument!

I mistakenly purchased this from you thinking it was a regular D whistle. I talked to your rep and she told me to return it for a refund. I have returned it by mail about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have purchased a regular D from you and I am extremely pleased with it. The return was purchased via Visa. Can you confirm the return?

This is my first low D whistle and I love the sound of it! I initially thought it would be too much of a challenge since I have short fingers but after two weeks of consistently playing it, I can say I've made a lot of progress and have got used to the finger stretch. Thank you!
