“We received the whistles today, 3/20/23, after a 2 week wait. It would have been nice to have at the very least a short, written, instruction booklet on how to hold and blow it properly, how to tune it, and a few scales to practice. We will have to struggle with You Tube videos by CutiePie on how to play it properly. We both play DAA dulcimers and it would be nice to know how to use those tabs with the whistle. This being a soprano whistle, I'm not sure we can use the dulcimer tabs. Disappointed to see the retail price dropped about 12 pounds from what we paid two weeks ago when they were ordered. They are nice looking and the simple case will protect them for now. Some feedback on compatibility with dulcimers would be appreciated. Thanks.”

Hi Rick, sorry to see that you were disappointed with how your order went. Firstly, we have excellent whistle lessons by John O'Brien which you can sign up to at any time. Conor in Customer Service will email you the details. Secondly, let us reassure you that the price has not decreased since you purchased your whistles! We'll be in touch to get this sorted for you anyway.

“Happy St. Patrick's Day 2023 to all! My whistle arrived, and I love it! It's cute, tough, has a wonderful full, mellow tone-what's not to love! In 2012, I was in Ireland for a few days before the Olympics ( where our Canadian Men's rowing 8 beat the British- a story there). I was hoping to find a Bodhran, and all I was shown were dreadful 4-packs of small tourist tambourines. Last day, I was leaving the Post Office and headed back to the Morrison Hotel. I needed to get to a flight, but spotted a little music shop on a side street. Behind the shop door, as I opened it, was a rack of Bodhrans. Bought one, boxed and taped it roughly ,back to the Post Office, made my flight- and only now noticed a sticker inside- 'Paraic McNeela Dublin'! Loved the music in Ireland; I heard classical, trad, Riverdance etc.. Lucky trip. May be time to return.”

“The Low D Whistle by Tony Dixon is easy to play; has a decent sound. McNeela is a great company to do business with--they have lots of tips for playing.”

“I just began learning how to play the flute in January when I bought a Clark Sweetone flute and the Bill Ochs Tin Whistle handbook. No matter how much I practiced so much of what I played sounded horrible. I looked online and many of the teachers stated it had to be the user not the whistle. I finally did not believe they could be right and searched for a better quality flute. I bought this Tony Dixon DX005 flute and my world changed. My practicing was no longer a terrible sounding event. Because of the improvement of the quality of the sound I am enjoying so much more learning to play this instrument. I highly recommend this instrument for novices instead of the cheaper products. The sound will be better and you will not be discouraged, because the sound you will produce will not be irritating. Interestingly, now that I have improved using this flute, I play the cheap one much better. Still the difference in sound quality is huge. Don't be cheap, if you seriously want to learn the instrument start with this product. Once I get to intermediate skill level, I will upgrade again.”
