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:
Tenor whistle Tuneable Polymer body ABS head Key of D Removable head Length: 22.75" Body interchangeable with Tony Dixon Polymer Practice Flute head
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.

It's a good first low D. My hands are a size 7,5 and the finger stretch is reasonable.

Beautiful sound! It was a little tricky getting delivery to Canada… the problem was with our postal service at the moment. The whistle was carefully packaged and in perfect condition when I received it. The whistle is exactly what I hoped for… wonderful deep tones. I highly recommend it!

Great from start to finish I can't rate the instrument as it is a gift and I don't play. But it shipped quickly and arrived fast,

Good Entry Level Whistle I've never played a wind instrument before but decided to dive straight in and purchased a Tuneable Polymer Low D Whistle (TB012) by Tony Dixon. When it arrived from McNeela's the first thing that struck me was not the length of it, but the weight! It's incredibly light but very well made. The first time I picked it up to see if I could get a note out of it came as a bit of a shock when you see the gap between the lowest 2 holes - it's a bit of a stretch and for a while you feel that you'll never get your fingers in the right position but it doesn't take long (about 2 of three sessions) for that to change. The whistle has a nice tone and I'm looking forward to the day when I can get through a whole tune without stopping! I'd certainly recommend this instrument to anyone wishing to give the low whistle a try without breaking the bank.
