Years into my practice, and I STILL keep coming back to this fabulous video again and again for honest, comprehensive whistle reviews. THANK YOU, Cutie Pie for this spectacular content!
Thank you - this was great! Really appreciate your time in doing that. Definitely will come back to this a few times.
Thank you for making this video, I have been looking for a while now for a better whistle and this will help me make a choice :D
Really helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this and put ALL that info in too. Fantastic. 👍😀
Thank you for giving such a detailed overview! This really helped me, finding the right flutes for me.
The Chris Walls sound gorgeous, definitely my kind of sound. Thank you so much for posting this.
Agreed, they really stand out.
19:27 and this is art!
Thank you for this review. It was very helpful and motivated me to send in my order for a Susato Oriole. I'm glad I found you on RUclips, I enjoy all of your videos.
Great video, very helpful thanks!
I really like the raw unedited sound in this video compared to some of your other videos- you can really hear the whistles' tone
Boom! Subscribed! Thanks for the time and effort !!
Thank you for this comparison video. I'm glad you used the term "top hand". I alternate which hand is at the top, depending on how my arthritis is doing.
I just bought a Clarke original as my first whistle and this video really helped me decide! I am loving it so far

Thank YOU much for all the effort and time to help others. Nice playing TOO. CHEERS
Another very useful and entertaining video. Thanks!
Perfect video for trying to figure out what to get next. Definitely a lower whistle, most likely a Chris Wall. Those sound the best to me. Really appreciated the lack of post processing on the sound. Hearing their true sound made a world of difference.
Would love a tutorial for Prancing Prince. It sounds so fun! You're playing as always was wonderful so fret not.
Thanks again!
Thank you soooo much for this comparison !! Very useful ! ☀️
So so many choices of whistles available! Thank goodness for reviews like this. There’s a home here for any whistles you don’t want 😆 seriously there is, I once completely emptied a skip full of broken guitars and repaired them for friends kids to use. I lost sleep knowing all them guitars were just waiting to be dumped!
You have conveyed to me through your videos with Irish whistles and songs the pleasure or even the "sickness" of playing the whistle and buying and having a collection! Through you, I rediscovered my childhood pleasure of playing the flute! I haven't played the flute since I was 10 years old, now I'm 41 years old. I have already bought 3 granted whistles and two more are on the way. Thank you for existing and for making beautiful videos for us who are passionate about whistles! I value and love you!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ your kindness really means a lot to. I hope you continue to enjoy your tin whistle journey. xx
That was lovely! Thanks. :)
This was great! Thank you Stephanie!!!
Thank you for this video! It's really helpful.
truly helpful video, thank you a lot! I love you!
Wow the Chris Wall series all sound amazing ! Thanks for the tips now I rly need to get myself a tin whistle ^^
Thank you for the video! I've been thinking of getting a second whistle so the timing is great. I think my Whistle Acquisition Disorder will be full swing before long 😅
Excellent! Thank you for posting.
Thanks for taking your time doing this helpful video. It must have been a lot of work!
Haha, it was. Glad you enjoyed it though!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
Wowwwww!!! 😍 Great comparison!!!
"Chris Wall Celtic Soprano D" (5:52) does have much cleaner and also warmer sound than the previous ones and it shows!
All Chris Wall whistles sound phenomenal! I love them all!
Congrats for such a great collection (and for your playing abilities 😉)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great look at some nice whistles! I love my Clarke Original, by far my favourite
Woww only one word for you and your description.."Genius ".. bless you .
Stephanie You're AMAZING . . . . such consistent energy and passion for both mentoring and just having FUN - it definitely carries over to all of us watching all your videos and tutorials.
Thank You Thank You Thank You . . I never even considered tin whistles before (I have Native American-style flutes) . . . but now I''ll be getting at least a pair of flutes and continue watching the motivation you give us with your wonderful personality and excellent selection of songs. . . . You're the BEST! . . . Thanks again . . . . From California U.S.A.
p.s. I think you've 'single-handedly' created a BOOM in the tin whistle world.
Haha, in not sure about that. But thank you for your lovely comments, it's very sweet of you.
I love the way you put the points next to your playing. Very talented lady. Thank you for the demo. p.s. My favorite was the Chris Wall, what a magical sound, and I would guess it has a great deal of versatility.
Good clear information I can come back to look at.
So many beautiful songs!
Very thorough, thank you!
Just thank you, my dear. You are amazing
Thank you for the video. The favorite of my collection is an Oak in C. I make Native American style Flutes as a hobby, and that got me into whistles. I made a fipple flute in Bb, to play along with a Bagpiper friend of mine. The second octave is a little squirrelly, but I never really needed it!
The thing about whistle collecting is you can scratch that itch without breaking the bank.
Have a wonderful week!
4 Years later and this is still super helpful!
As a complete beginner, I don't want to get anything too fancy just yet. The Clarke Sweetones actually sound really nice for so cheap. I think I'll pick them up in D and C to test the waters for now. That said though, all the Chris Wall Celtics really stand out to me. The deeper, mellower tone sounds so nice. I'll definitely be looking towards some of these in the future if I take to the instrument well!
Thanks for the excellent comparison, what a nice collection you have!
Great way to finish my Friday night. I have a Clarke Sweetone in D......now I just need the time to practice.....and some talent. Love the end where you were fooling around.....made me laugh.
Thank you! Great video and very informative. Love your Facebook site.
Wonderful post. Totally enjoyed it. Great demo for sounds and quality of different brands. One of my favorite tunes is 'The Piper through the Meadow Strayed." Hope you might post that tune sometime.
Very interesting and informative. Thank you very much, it's not easy to know what whistle really suits you, in France, because it's not a common instrument here.
Now, I have some idea of where to look for a new whistle, the day I need another one 💖
Late in finding this. Answered a lot of questions!
Thank you thank you thank you for this! Super helpful! Have a great day!
Edit: I commented before I saw the end! 😂😂 that deserves a cup of coffee
Thanks for the great video, really helps a lot!
No fucking way lol never thought I'd see you here.
I know Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Mordechai Abdiel Instablaster ;)
@Fox Brayden i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Fox Brayden it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
Love the Chris Wall ones. Both the sweetbrass and the Celtics sound beautiful.
Great, thank a lot & all the best, with love from Berlin. Stay Healthy!
Dear CutiePie, I also have a huge collection of whistles(almost a hundred) and I’ve been playing whistles for almost half a century. I developed a way/ method to avoid squeaking. Cut a little piece of drink plastic straw, insert a full one, or half or less than half into the wind hole mouthpiece and you’ll see the result. Your lessons are really great! I wish I had listened to them 50 years ago, but even now I’m learning from you. Thanks for you work and keep it up!
Thanks 🙏 for that video ❤
wow man...made my life..
Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....
Wonderful, thank you very much!
Wow great collection
Thanks so so soo much for that video!!!!! 👏👍👍👍👍
This is very helpful!
Nice comparsion. Thank you. Gives a great overview especially for beginners. Especially like that you play a different tune on every whistle. Even I quarrel a bit with the Inisheer. I prefer it played a bit slower including some slide. ;)
Thanks so much for this! Hard to find any advanced players, laying out, not only their own whistles, but the price ranges and playability. I would think these companies would be swarming to have you do the very same, for their own product, if they don't already!
New sub here. Thanks for demos. I think the Chris Wall Celtics are the winners for me! 🥰
Great Video . Thanks!
You get a lovely sound out of all that plumbing. Thanks for the comparisons - off to squander some loot on a Kerry/Chieftain Bazooka (or whatever) in Hi D.
Considering learning tin whistle, great video
I did think the Clarke Sweetone was a hard beast. Thanks for the reviews
I really like the sound of the Chris Wall ones, and it looks nice, while being a polymer, so great for longevity and ease of care.
Cheers, got me the better part of an irish ale to go through the video, worth it, that's pretty straightforward and comprehensive
Good choice on the drink! 😉
You are absolutely stunning. Beautiful and very talented.
Thank you ♥️
Lovely and very helpful. I have a Native American flute made by Guillermo Martinez, a beautiful sound. You have encouraged me to do more with it.
👏 👍 Another great video CutiePie!
1:07 "Scotland the Brave"
Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave. 😉 ♫
This is one of my favorite tunes that I play not only on my tin whistle, but also on my concertina and fiddle. 😉 ♫
Great video, thanks 🙏
Still can’t decide which one to buy for my first D whistle
It is my dream that i can have one of them. You are so lucky.
I love your prancing Prince song!
Thank you for this comparison, also for playing all these different tunes! Having experience with recordes I love different flutes too. By the way, there are similarities to Chinese flutes to ;-)
Update 2021: No Chinese Flutes! This video is very helpful!
My Chieftain V5 low D is my favorite inanimate object.
Thank you so much for this video. The great es whistles, for me are the Chris wall in high and low, the low MK and the whistles from clar. The other high whistles are a little bit squakie.
The second operation of the right hand its over now. I am working very hard, because I want to play my whistle again. Thank you for your work❣️❣️
You can do it! ❤️❤️
Love it
The Chris Wall whistles are my jam.
Very cool
Just a tip I've found helpful to help with clogging: Colin Goldie suggested using regular (smooth) toothpaste on the fipple windway. I've carefully cut a piece of plastic (e.g. old credit card), rubbed some paste on it, and gently rubbed the wind-way. Then wash out with warm water. Previously had tried food-industry silicone spray - but this actually makes it worse!
Also, for those with WAS, the Killarney Whistle (high D nickel) I have is utterly amazing. So responsive and clear in both octaves. It really helps me brush up my ornamentation techniques!
Killarney whistle definitely has THE best price/value ratio out there.
It is sweet, in tune, doesn't clog, you can hit 3rd octave D and E without much trouble.
You can record with it without any trouble.
Only "flaw" is it's not a session whistle, but it is so perfectly crafted in all other aspects that you wouldn't touch any other for home practice or even recording.
Lol I wonder why no one reviews my first and so far only tin whistle (I didn't know any better 😅) the Walton's promotional toy Guiness black. 😂 But rather than be discouraged, I've now been bitten by the bug, and better whistles.are definitely in my future. Thank you SO much for this comparison guide! ❤
Finally got my clark sweetone!!! And it's pink!! XD
Love the Clarke sweet one D
So many Welsh tunes - Mor brin i glywed rhain arlein, gwych!
Very helpful video - it wasn't only my lack of talent after all. I'll invest in better whistles thanks to your guidance.
Well , Im in love !
Thank you! I was obsessing with which ones to buy and your vid helped me come to a decision! I love Kagome's theme. Please tell me you also have a vid on Kikyo's theme somewhere!
I almost bought the wrong one!! thanks a lot :D
Thank you!
Awesome, youve taught me a few new ones already. U asked for suggestions on a video. I got that wizard of oz song "if i only had a brain" and Humphrey Bogart "as time goes by" by ear pretty easy, appears all major...peace
Hi Cutie! First, thanks so much for showing us the different kinds of Tin whistles. I have always liked the sound of Celtic music (especially the high sounds) and for the last few days, I have been listening to your music and wondering how to get the right T Whistle for a beginner. I´m a Chilean guy living in Catalonia. Thanks!!
Clarke original D does need a lot of air, especially getting to the second octave.
And I thought it was just me playing tin whistle for the first time and not being able to play well yet! Thanks for clarifying. I should have watched this review first! Keep up the great videos 👍
Yup! This helped me too, i thought my breath is just super weak. :)
I have been thinking of upgrading soon and this was a awesome way to get the lay of the land. Thank you!
Update. My Chris Wall arrived. It's an excellent whistle!
Over and over and again, and finally this video confirms that I love how Chris Wall's whistles sound!! So far all of his whistles's sound is appealing but there is a waitlist uuurrrggghhh!!!
I really want to buy his sweetbrass or celtic high D but seeing as I need to wait 6months, as a beginner what whistle would you recommend? Clark's Sweetone seemed nice here but I was told that Dixon's Trad was a good afforable choice for beginners as well. What's your opinion on Dixon's Trad? Btw do you think there's a different between Dixon'a Trad and DX004?
I bought a tin whistle to play old French Canadian tunes like La Bastringe. I like this video by the way.
Nice comparison of whistles. I have been playing whistles for about 24 years since I was 8 and have a few now. I stopped playing for a while as I started playing saxophones 2 years ago, and going back to playing whistles again, it hit me instantly the lack of resistance compared to playing a saxophone which has a lot more.
I have all the Generation whistles in brass and nickel and never really like them, squeaky so don't like the sound except for the Bb which I like more. I have two Chieftain whistles an old non tunable Chieftain high C V3 and I find the high notes don't come out unless I push harder which makes the notes loud and I sometimes get low notes instead but the fipple area has started to show signs of corrosion on it, and I have a non tunable Chieftain low D V3 which I don't mind, except the bigger holes on it due to having slightly short fingers.
I have two Tony Dixon whistle/flutes in plastic a low G and a high C with interchangeable heads. When I have the flute head on both I find I can't get rid of a breathy sound especially on the high C which I can't get a good sound on but the whistles heads are good. Another I have is a Susato high A tuneable and it's a nice sweet tone and I have tried its head on the Dixon low G flute/whistle body and find it sounds nice, but I really have to control my air and play softly with that combination or it just squeaks or squeaks out high notes and I don't think it is in the key of G anymore.
I do want to get a few more and thought about a low Bb or bass G if I could find one but the are very big and I am thinking of maybe getting a Jerry Freeman tweaked Generation whistle which might be better than the standard Generations. I do want a low Eb though. If there was any I could get, it would be one made by Pat O'Riordan as he redesigned the mouthpiece fipple so his have a nice tone through 2 octaves but they are very hard to find and any I have seen were very expensive since he stopped making whistles and then died last year.
I went to a used music store and asked for a pennywhistle. They pulled out an old cardboard box of whistles and I grabbed a Clark Original in a beat up package for $16. This is my first whistle and I’m looking forward to learning to play. :3
My children bought me a whistle in York.
I went to a music store (in Cambridge) and asked for penny whistle music.
They laughed.
So I walked out.
Got the feadog from my mom because she went to Ireland lmao. It was cheap, and came with a book and cd soooo
Overall, thanks for the review! I need to find an instrument for middle school so maybe I can find a better quality one.
You are absolutly right about the warming and the cool down on the MK pro, i've recieved mine the past week and at first I thought that it had some issue, maybe some manufacturing error or something like that, because the sound gets softer and softer and with a bit of noise after a while, and that occurs a lot faster than in my chieftain v3 or my dixon, but as you have pointed up, it seems a common "issue" in the MKs, so you have to warming it up a LOT at first, and clean the mouth with a strong blow, covergin the mouth hole, with frequenci, and even so it can clog anyway.
Besides that, it has indeed a strong and clear tone, and my favorite part: it has a sound between a low whistle and an irish flute (the side blow ones), and that makes the MK unique and different of any other lows out there.
I have a video on 'clogging'. I found a few tips to help improve that and mine has been great the last few weeks 😊 ruclips.net/video/aJTmp8ziA-8/видео.html
In Mexico, all us in middle school ( secondary school) must take a music class, and yes along with it learn to play "the flute" along with the (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La ti Do). Yet, the flute it is a plastic made, and yamaha brand...Great Clip!!! Gracias
Second time to watch this, that Chris Wall Celtic has the nicest sound, both of them, if you ask me. I love this video, I look up the whistles and I am going to make the plunge very soon now.
People in the middle ages and antiquity played with homemade instruments, modern manufacturing tech is much better than what people back then had. It's only your impression that the expensive one is better
Chris Wall's flutes are a scam; I ordered one a year ago on Ebay, I'm still waiting ... No response for 8 months. Do not order.
@@evila4190 It says pretty clearly on his website that you will have to potentially wait a long time
Chris Wall for me, great sounding whistles
