I'm a fan of untunable whistles because of my favorite dad joke.
"Its supposed to be in the key of D, but I guess we'll be playing in the key of me"
Hope Tony Dixon now keeps you in free whistles, I just bought one on the strength of your review.
I doubt they even know I own one 🤣
@@CutiepieTinWhistle Then I will let them know!
I just purchased one as well because of this review. I went to Scotland recently and bought a Glenluce plastic d whistle and I fell in love playing it. However, it's so hard to play the higher octaves and I wanted something with more potential. Thanks @CutiePie for the recommendation!
I picked one up after watching your review.. I agree Tony Dixon should sponsor you LOL.. I also have a Tony dixon Low D.. it has two mouth piecs . one for playing like a flute, one for playing like a whistle.
I just bought one. It will be here in a week. I'm pleased with the DX005 and love your videos. Great video and thank you.
I have one of the very early styles of this whistle with the brass tuning slide as well and absolutely adore it. And I’ve had MANY various names like O’Riordan, Sindt, Burke, etc... I too think my main draw to this whistle is the lower volume for practicing as well as just being a bit larger diameter due to my long fingers. You mentioned the shiny spots around the keys over time... I occasionally go over the whistle with a dry “magic eraser” and I instantly have that matte finish which I visually prefer.
Bought one of these for myself for Christmas because I love the sound. Love your videos.
I got this as a birthday present by my brother two years ago and I really like to play it. Yesterday it has featured in my family christmas party.
Got this and Love this whistle! Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
Thank you. I am a beginner and bought this model cause of your review. I have tried different models and just love this one. I really can recommend it
As cute as you are we do not mind seeing another review of the Dixon whistle. Your cheerfulness brings joy to the viewer. Thanks for the video. Thanks for the info on the Sony Movie Studio software because that was a question I had but I also think you have sold me on this little practice whistle. Thank you.
I loved this so much that I ordered a DX005 with much appreciation.
This video made me buy the whistle and I love it, being able to play the natural C is glorious!
captain koala it's a great whistle!
Bought one also and you where absolutely correct. Very good for little money.
I have just received one of these on the strength of this review. Really like it, and I can see why Stephanie likes it too As for 'making friends' with the whistle, there was no need as it is very easy and lovely to play. I am not a total newbie, but have limited experience with one or two other whistles. This one will be played more than any ( although I am waiting for a Sweet Brass later in the year).
Visited Tony at his workshop many years ago - down in the west country...... and went home with the three-piece-flute and the whistle head to make it a low D....... one of my favourite instruments - and indestructible!
I appreciate the indestructible part
Hi. Thank you very much for the review of the Tony Dixon DX005 whistle. It was extremely helpful. Kam
This is one of my favorite whistles alongside the Killarney, Tweaked Freeman, and Tim Potter in the lower cost whistles. Hope you like the Killarney when they arrive. Be well.
I bought it because of your review. It is much lighter than I expect. But it sounds perfectly fine. The high octave is easy to reach. Overall, I am happy with this whistle.
Yes, this was a lovely review! I am looking for something with more substantial sound and I think this is it!
You're right about one thing, you got to get friend with it. When I unboxed it and tried it, it came close of visiting the garbage can, very close.I'm now giving it a chance and I'm beginning to make it sound. Yeah !
Thanks for the review. I just got one as a gift. Amazing 3 octaves.
I know! It's an awesome whistle. I dropped mine a few weeks back and now it has a little crack in it 🙁 luckily Christmas is coming!
@@CutiepieTinWhistle
Oh no. You can probably fix the crack with gorilla glue. I play a native american flute and i broke my most expensive one by closing it in the car door. Luckily it was a perfect break and now there is no sign of a break.
Very nice chatting with you.
Thank you for the review. I'm trying to choose my first whistle. This is very helpful.
Hautbois d'Amour be sure to check out my other reviews too! Plenty of great options for beginners 😊
I'm learning from the beginning home school model , taking a course in my 11th in the weeks, I think they start beginners in the USA for home school in a key of D
Bought one and a Low D becasue of your reviews. I love the High D.
Does this Tin Whistle require a lot of air/breath, like Clarke Original?
Hiya Stephanie, Just bought that model of whistle today and it cost £42.85, (17. 07.2019.) I'm really very happy with it. As a whistle beginner I was struggling with the cheaper ones, but this as you have said plays every note spot on....even for me albeit quite slowly! Thanks, x
It's still one of my favourites! Glad it's worked out for you.
Hi! Enjoyed this review immensely. I play this same Dixon model on stage, have used it in the studio many times and it's my staple whistle on tour for festival shows because it's so reliable.
I've even managed to play it outdoors in the wind by using a trick an old-timer showed me - turn the head around 180 degrees so that the ripple is facing down! Yes, the mouthpiece feels a bit odd that way, but it beats having the wind steal your sound.
PS-loved your ornaments video! I now use a couple of new ones thanks to you.
Hi David! I play outside with my Oak High D nickel whistle because the walls in my high-rise apartment bldg are very thin. Even if they say the Dixon DX005 is quiet... I like to play loud since I play outside only. If you play in the second octave, like you do outdoors, does it carry very far? I have a lot of stories of people I've made very happy, and at times told me so. An example is I played on a long fishing dock when of course it was late and all the fisher-people and the dock long enough I didn't bother people hiking around the lake that's all a city park in Minneapolis. People look very tiny on the far end. On a map it seems about 7 1/2 city blocks long, so about 3/4 mile. I played for about an hour, then walked down the dock to leave and two young guys, teens, were sitting on a park bench. They said they heard me on the far end and came to my end of the lake to listen! So my oak whistle could be heard 3/4 mile! With your outdoor experience, would the Dixon carry a lot shorter distance?
I have Dixon whistles, I prefer them. In fact I needed a food High D abd I just had a Tony Dixon high D tunable aluminium DX006. I couldn't put it down for hours! It is nice and clear and loud. Though I could play the first octive quieter and it did not change the clarity. But to go into the 2nd, it is loud! I think this whistle would be heard 3¼ of a mile away, definitely. Even if it was not over water, (which carries sound amazingly). But talk abouut playing outside. I play my trumpet outside sometimes. I live in the west of Ireland in Mayo. I think the cows and all the sheep and farmers might like it.. well I hope! (;
Original Tony Dixon DX005D Whistle - Handmade in England
The Dixon DX005D has all the characteristics of the DX004D with the added advantages of being very sleek.
The addition of the handmade brass tuning slide not only allows for smooth comfortable tuning but offers a subtle sharpness to the tone.
As Tony Dixon says, the DX005D is a modern take on tradition, suitable for all ages and abilities.
Retails for $44.95 (US) and free shipping on Amazon.
I think it would be suitable for public performances too, and not just for "home, practice and personal use." 😉 ♫
Hello Steph, I am a big fan and follower.
Great going and very entertaining /informative channel. I am from India, and I absolutely love the tin whistle and own and practice a few, mostly in the key of D, mainly cause I practice the alto sax.
I would just like to request you to,( if u could) mention the time signature of the pieces that you post. This would be of great help. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!!!! Cheers!!!
Black Rubber 'O' Rings would work well slipped on to the extended gap as Tuning Spacers to maintain the required Pitch...
fantastico! thankyou!
Thanks. I have a Clarke high D and I'd like a tunable High D whistle. I'll consider the DX005 you reviewed. Small Plug for Dixon (no I don't sell whistles) In my quest for a lower whistle, before getting a Low D, I have a Low G Dixon DX107G (a tunable metal whistle with a plastic head.) much of what you said for the DX005 could be said for the DX107G.
I now have the High D Dx005 - it is everything you said it was and I love it.
Great So Detailed THX!
I have the Dixon Trad high D and the 2 piece plastic low D. Lovely whistles, as far as my high D collection goes the Dixon Trad is second only to my Freeman Bluebird. Now I'm tempted to pick up one of these when funds allow...
Isn't a Freeman Bluebird a Generation that's been modified?
Yes. A Jerry Freeman Bluebird is a tweeked Generation whistle. It might have a non-generation head on it. Or is that just the Freeman Mellow-dog?
Excellent review! Thank you. I purchased this whistle earlier this year (2022) and I'm enjoying it very much. Very easy to play. Doesn't take much breath to get a lovely sound. Great whistle.
I respect your opinions. You have taught yourself, you play by ear, you listen to and experience the music like I do. I got a Dixon dx005.
Any advice for a beginner who has started to experience the fact that I can play music now without thinking about moving my fingers over individual holes? It feels odd and out of control. I think now in 3’s,2’s, 1’s evens and odds. I make up little stories like this “1little lifts up, down then goes with the flow...2, 2, 2” I think that certain notes sound more “Irish” if I start and stop with it. I’m getting the feeling of major, minor and how to flip back and forth. Does this sound familiar?
I just thought about this. Since we have this Covid 19 thing going around how about doing a live tutorial session or question and answer session about what you know about whistles ? I think it might be a good thing to do.
Just ordered one, thanks for the review! :)
can u link the shop pls, i can't find it XD
@@verminatum www.tonydixonmusic.co.uk/
@@verminatum you get them on amazon in the UK also....
Stephanie is completely right by the way, it takes a bit of getting used to, but very lovely sound.... And mine also has quite a few marks on it, but that's ok, it's all about the sound! :)
@@nozefian What exactly do you mean by "getting used to"? Can you please offer any advice on the subject? I'm a beginner but I really want to get one, I don't like the sound of my Walton at all..
Watching your reviews caused me to relapse on my "Whistle Obsessive Acquisition Disorder", so I bought a Dixon Trad B flat from Hobgoblin. Don't worry though, I can still lead a full, if slightly more whistley life.
Could be worse, I had the same syndrome for keyboard synthesizers.... and they cost way more lol..........im broke
This has got to be the best comment ever
help i just got WOAD
Thanks very much for this review. I went ahead and bought one of these DX005 a couple of moths ago and it sounds great, nice and warm and in good tune all the way up the scale it has rendered all my other (cheap) whistles redundant. It sounds better and is easier to play than anything else I have, worth every penny.
Out of interest I later bought a DX001 which doesn't have the tuning slide and is a good deal cheaper at £15 with a nice white ring around the bottom of the pipe and to be quite honest its a bit rubbish when compared, all the notes in the second octave sound a little off compared to the more accurate DX005.
I've only owned the lowest cost about $10 or $15 whistles, so this is my possible upgrade. I'm just wondering why brass? You pay more for the tunable brass slide as opposed to the Dixon whistle that is tunable but not with a brass slide. Thanks for a very nice review and talented sample songs!
Thanks for the review and display of this wonderful whistle. I have a TD DX004 which is basically the same as the DX005 except it is not tunable. I love my whistle. I am a flute player so I really like the flute like sound one gets from the polycarbon whistles. I also have an Eric the Flutemaker in C and it is a wonderful whistle as well. Thanks for sharing and teaching.
PWA is Eric the flute maker in c worth the money? Is there a much better sound from it than the dx005? Thanks!
How was the transition from flute to whistle? I played the flute for about 8 years. Is the fingering similar?
@@kddayth No KD Day there is actually no comparison with playing the tin whistle with a regular flute. The comparison I was making is that the sound of the Tony Dixon whistle is a flute like sound that many tin whistles do not have, especially the metal ones. I prefer the sound of the polycarbon whistles. There are several advantages that flute players have when learning the whistle and one is breath control by using the breath for sustaining and adding color to the notes and another is the ability to remember the song notes using brain muscle memory, if that makes sense.
It does sound quite nice. I wish my Feadóg sounded anywhere near as nice!
Lol, I said on the other video that my fav whistle was a dixon, its Tony Dixon DX006
I should have watched this video first.
Like I said, if you go to the Tony Dixon website, you can buy the piccolo head for a few quid, they are interchangeable on the same body.
I bought it because of you
You should have amazon affiliate links to earn some penny’s from your fans
Glad you’re back on bubbly form!
I’ve got the cheaper Dixon high D, I love it but when I’m better at ornaments and such then I might have earned myself an upgrade.
If we’re going all Bond tonight then would owning a dx005 give me a Licence to Shrill? ;)
By the way, pretty please can you do something, anything, in Bflat? Not the most session friendly of keys I know but it’s lovely all the same and your style would make it sound even lovelier!
Neil Stevens licence to shrill! Love it! Might have to do a James Bond number now 🤣 I've done a few in Bb, I think one or two last week? What would you like to hear?
CutiePie gosh, now you’re asking! Since I like a challenge I spent a useful half hour going through all the Bond themes on RUclips - how about one of the following:
Tomorrow Never Dies
Moonraker
The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody Does It Better)
Not sure if any of these will actually work on a whistle but the melodies are rather nice gotta be worth a punt :)
Neil Stevens you can play anything on tin whistle 😉 just wait n see. x
Can you recommend the best oil and case for this whistle? Just beginning my journey because of you with this magical instrument.
thanks! Yes, lower volume is better as a beginner! :)
Always pull your flute/whistle head joint out a bit or you see just playing it wrong and extremely sharp
So… three years later is the DX005 still your favorite all-around D whistle? I am currently playing a Walton Mellow D but looking for an upgrade that has more balanced tone and volume across octaves.
Sound wise, sweetness and smoothness, what is at the top?
nice video and now with the samples of the Dixon DX005!
Thanks very much for your reply. I was trying to choose between the Clarke original and the Dixon 005 as I had just watched your reviews or both. For a beginner which do you think would be better? I like the husky tone of the Clarke and the clearer tone of the Dixon. Thanks 😊
I found the Dixon quite difficult to play for a while, it took a lot of getting used to. I knew as soon as it arrived we'd eventually be friends, but it wasn't an immediate wonder whistle for me, it took effort! The Clarke original was my second whistle, after a generation, so I'd have to recommend that. It helps you learn the basics of good breath control that is quite valuable further down the line :) get a D though, the Clarke C is a tough cookie.
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for doing a whistle review. love it.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro for my videos, and it has loads of audio effects... But can I ask what Mic and stuff you use? I just bought one of them Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with (free) Pro Tools - First, (about £150 as a bundle pack). It all looks the part, I need to learn the software, but it looks like it can do 'Everything', exept play your instrument for you.
Cheers
Fiddling with my Whistle I have a focusrite audio interface. I'll have to check on the mic, because the first one I ordered I sent back and this is is different. I never remember what it's called 🤣
OK, mic is an C417 PP by AKG - it's for recording vocals for work. I bought a Beyerdynamic at first but I needed a different end fitting.
I'll have to google that one, I have never done much recording, not of myself anyway. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo bundle comes with it's own "Scarlett Studio" mic.. For the price it seems really good, time will tell, I have not used it for a video yet, I was just using my 'headset' mic with a Load of editing. High pass, low pass filters, compression.. and more.
The scarlett definitely made a difference to my sound. I probably would've used the mic that came with it - but I didn't buy a bundle. Hope it works well for you :)
I guess I need to up my game on recording equipment. 😂 I’ve only been using an iPhone / iPad app called VocalLive with added reverb. Does a decent job but hopefully in the near future I’ll be able to purchase some advanced equipment.
Thank's for this video. I've got the Dixon but it was cheaper. Some day I'll get the dixon with the brass tuning. Greetings from germany
I have a new favourite whistle that just arrived...And it's not a Dixon... So don't buy one just yet 😉
@@CutiepieTinWhistle Hi! A year later... what is your favorite now? I'm trying to decide to upgrade from always playing for years on the cheapest whistles... so tops around $50 for a high D.
@@mwj5368 can't go wrong with the Dixon for the price! 😊
Do you prefer your Dixon Pro or Setanta? Thank you!!
Thanks for the review! I am trying to decide on either the tony dixon or mk pro mostly for recreational playing and occasional performance. Which would you suggest? Thanks!
If you're considering the Dixon DX005 and the MKpro they are two very different whistles and not really something you can choose between...for a start one's low and one's high, so it depends whether you want to play low or high whistle... Also price, this one is £35 the MKpro is £250... If you're new to tin whistle i'd definitely start with a high whistle though 😊
I am an old, and perennial beginner with the whistle, sadly. I also have small hands and read elsewhere that this whistle, while being easy to play and having great sound, does have large finger bores more suited for large hands. I noticed you didn't mention this feature. So, are the finger bores possibly too large for very small hands? Appreciate this review and so enjoy all of your instruction videos. You are a delight!
I wouldn't suggest this whistle was very large. It's a pretty standard sized whistle so should be perfectly suitable for small hands.
I just bought this as my second whistle and I love it already. Just got it an hour ago. The sound is so “smooth “ compared to tin, and I find that it’s easier to find the sharps and flats. Great whistle.
Many thanks for your advice. I have ordered the Clarke original. I did order a Dixon low d but I couldn’t play it. I have read lots of chat about small hands etc. And encouraging players to use the pipers grip and persevere. However I have come across the man in the USA susato who does a Kildare option that has a key on the last hole for all the low whistles. Would it still be tricky to play? I was wondering if a low f would be easier to play but then I was wondering if you need to play different notes etc to play the music I been playing on my high D.
Most low whistles will require a Piper's grip, I even use it on my Bb Susato, but I've never tried one with keys, so I wouldn't know if it would be difficult to play or not.
Does Tony dixon make a tuneable polymer whistle like this, but in Bb ? anyone know?
What version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio do you use?
How do you oil it?
Hi Stephanie. I have a waltons d whistle and really enjoying playing it. I don't like the tone when high, too squeaky. Would I be best with the Clarke original or this one as a beginner please? I need one that's easy to play and may cover up my flaws 😊
You might find you need a lot of air to hit some of the notes on the Clarke original, and not much air at all to hit others. For that reason it can sometimes be difficult to play for beginners, but definitely sounds sweeter than Walton's whistles.
Expensive, just saw it on line March 12th, 2020 for $56 plus shipping, so count on $66.
It's worth it, really. It's my to go D whistle at the moment
Hi Stephanie, this is a great whistle, thank you for your comment.
That wistle include case?
Hi! Congratulations on your videos! You are a very nice person and make great videos. I am Brazilian and I will visit London in January 2020. Could you tell me some store that sells tunable dixon tin whistle in london? Thanks.
I don't know, sorry. I always order my whistles online.
I have mostly Dixon whistles, the trads and aluminum whistles. I'm not a huge fan of plastic whistles, is it comparable to a Susato?
Tyto Alba it's better than my Susato whistles, the sound is clearer, note transitions cleaner too.
Now all I need is a cathedral to play in
Still your fave????
I've two DX004 and one DX001 - really like them, so I'm interested in your review.
I owned DX004 and DX005. I would say that their sound are a bit different between DX004 and Dx005. Dx004 sounds more plastic like a recorder, but DX005 sounds more like a traditional whistle. But both are good whistles.
I play in session and with a trad band - doesn't sound like it'll be loud enough. Considered a custom made one from Weston whistles (wood, £95) but I am considering going for a Tony Dixon in nickel or something - what would you recommend for playing live, acoustically?
Killarney. Loud, clear, tunable and plays nice and clearly. Nice traditional sound.
Would you recommend this whistle as an upgrade from an Oak whistle in D?
Definitely!!
Which song r you playing in raw sound?
Stephanie, in your experience, does the DX005 clog easily? I'm a bit of a wet whistler, so clogs are fairly common for me right now. So, I'm looking for a whistle that is more accommodating for my wet whistling tendencies.
I don't find it does, though I can't be sure if it will for you 🫤 my husband's the same and he clogs every whistle he tries 🤣🤦♀️
Can you please tell me what the difference in sound and tone in a Tony Dixon tapered and non tapered low D whistle
I don't have a tapered bore Tony Dixon whistle, but tapered bore whistles are quieter than straight bore whistles, and teens to be more airy sounding, but sometimes a little sweeter.
Are there any benefits to having a tunable whistle vs. nontunable? Is it that you can tune to other keys (like move it from high D to high C), or is it just an added feature that allows you to finely adjust the exact tuning to high D or somewhere near there if you're playing with others who are out of tune? Thanks!
I would appreciate if this question is answered also! @cutiepie
It won’t allow you to tune to other keys, it allows you to fine tune if you are playing with other musicians or if the environment you are in causes the whistle to go flat or sharp.
When you say it's not good for playing with other instruments in session, what about just with a celtic harp? Probably fine, right?
Yes should be fine 😊 I just meant that if you were playing with LOTS of instruments LIVE, without a mic, you wouldn't hear it.
Thank you for showing us your new addition. At 5m 20s you mentioned that you had to get used to playing this whistle "properly and reference the "amount of air you need to put into the whistle to the the best out of it" but then you also say it "doesn't require a lot of air" and is easy to play. - - this confused me. Can you please elaborate? I would think less air requirements would make it easier to play. Thanks.
Thanks for your questions. Essentially you need a lot more experience of breath control to play whistles that require less air :) That's because they are more sensitive to the amount of air you blow through them. Beginners often don't know how to control the amount of air they put into a whistle and have a tenancy to over blow (blow too hard) which pushes the whistle into the second octave unintentionally. Whistles that require less air (like this one) push into the second octave more easily, so you need a VERY small amount of air to stay in the low octave, and too much air will push it into the second octave when you don't want o be there, and sometimes even into the third octave (and will basically make it squeak loudly and horribly.)
In general, it's easy to play, with regard to the amount of air you need - you don't have to have a gigantic lung capacity to reach the super high notes, which allows you to play for longer periods without needing to gasp for air. BUT, you do need to have GOOD breath control, in order to be able to always play the note you're looking for :)
@@CutiepieTinWhistle That makes sense. A reviewer on Amazon said that he thought Dixon's brass or nickle ones sounded better. Can you (or those you play for) tell a difference in the sound produced. I have listened to a review that compared Dixon Trad nickle brass with a Goldfinch and with a Alba (same song, same mic, same room). At first I liked the Goldfinch but then when I clicked on each sample and then listened with my eyes closed I could hear a difference between the metal and the polymer whistles. I think you have helped me narrow down to a Dixon or a Clarke...just didn't know if metal whistles sound better or not. Yes, I am a beginner but this will probably be my one and only so I want to find something I will enjoy - not "break in" as I learn to play. (kind of like not wanting a student instrument just to learn on and then having to get something better later on)
I ran across both Dixon DX005 and Dixon DX005D whistles while seaching in varoius online shops. Does anyone know what is the difference between the two? Thanks!
The letter at the end of the model number, normally denotes the key the whistle is in, DX005D, would mean it was in D. Saying that, the DX005 only comes in "D" as far as I know.
How does this differ from the Dixon HIgh D pro? I notice the bottom hole is larger on the one you have. My Dixon High D has plastic around the bottom of the bore and no brass. Is it advisable to buy the Dixon DX005 if I have this one? Is the difference significant?
This one was actually called 'Dixon pro' when I ordered it, so I'm not sure on the intricacies of the difference between the two. If you have a Dixon high D though, you probably don't need another one...
Hi. Does the tuning slide move when you play it, as it seems a little pressure might move it? Thanks!
No, not at all 💚
And how do you get that mastered sound on a stage? Any suggestions?
A mic set up with a good echo should do pretty much all you need it to. Although you can get a portable mic and echo box too for outdoor roaming performances :)

Have you ever tried the alto/low G by Dixon?
I haven't.
Is there such a thing as a "cheap" low D whistle? There are so many ridiculously cheap tin whistles out there, but I can't find anything bigger for a "just wanna try it out" kind of price. I saw a Tony Dixon One piece Polymer for 69.95, but still thats a bit for me. I sometimes wonder if theres a bamboo or wooden chinese flute that could be a cheap stand-in just for kicks, cause I've seen interesting large straight flutes of that nature for very cheap. Maybe the notation is different though due to different scales used in that music.
So its reverb.. I wonder if you could attach a mic to the whistle and have the sound come out of an amplifier with reverb hmm..
Of course 😊
I saw u play a lot with this..... Could figure out its ur favorite....if i compare this with clark original d...which ones better for smoother higher notes???
bikramjeet dhar both pretty clear and smooth up top, Clarke is a bit sweeter up top, this one is a little clearer and rounder.
CutiePie and what's the price range for both??
bikramjeet dhar About £10-£15 for the Clarke, about £35-£45 for the Dixon
I bought the Clarke D on Amazon for £14 and I love it though it's my first whistle so I can not compare to others I highly recommend it though as it is a bargain
Hi Stephanie, This music is beautiful 06:00 ! I wish I could know its name 🌟🙏
Me too, it sounds familiar but I can't get which tune is!

high is the high D the same as Saprano D
Yes
Hi, for me its easy to start collecting whistles.. I have more than 10... What is your relationship with whistles, have you acquired a collection and Can you resist yourself about new purchases?
Haha, no I have lots of whistles!
Check it out:
instagram.com/p/Bhyo2xjF8SO/?taken-by=gwen.grace
I have 4 more now too :D
No wait...I have 7 MORE!!! :O
CutiePie im the same boat... 🍻
I'm new to the tunable brass. Can you adjust the sound from low to high or is it just normal to high?
Tuneable whistles don't really change the sound much at all. It's a very slight change, which allows you to improve the pitch slightly to match other instruments you may be playing with. The whistle will still only play in the key it's designed to play in, but is fractionally adjustable to slightly sharpen or flatten the pitch.
@@CutiepieTinWhistle thank you so much for the info
Is this a whistle you would suggest for a person new to the whistle but who is a semi professional bagpiper? I would assume being a musician already they might want a tuneable whistle but I’m just not sure which tuneable one to go with?
Oh my, no 😂 bagpipes need A LOT of breath and push and power, this needs practically nothing, and I would imagine that would make it very difficult to play for a piper.
You'll likely need something that's a bit more of a 'heavy blower'.
Perhaps a 'Killarney' whistle if you want to start with something good quality. You'd do well with an MK midgie in future, but they're quite an investment. For something cheap to try out, you might consider a Woodi whistle from the USA...or even a Weston whistles, they're wooden whistles but usually pretty reasonably priced.
I have reviewed all these so you can check them out for yourself on my channel 😊
@@CutiepieTinWhistle thank you for your thoughtful response. I had considered a Woodi set however, I was concerned about the upper register on those whistles as you and several other reviewers said it was a tad problematic. The piper I spoke of seems to prefer the breathy sound of the Dixon DX005D and the Woodi and I love the plastic for its durability for that reason I would probably not choose the Weston. You sure are correct about the bagpipes taking mountains and that was an interesting concern about a piper finding an instrument which takes little air frustrating. I had not considered that. However, breath control is highly practiced with pipers so she might be able to dial it down so to speak? I know she has explained that even fractional breath changes even with the same bag squeezing pressure can swing the pitch of her pipe chanter. She has to dial in her pressure at around 38 PSI without fluctuating more than about 0.5 PSI while playing. Also she circular breathes when playing her practice chanter. So that habit might be harder to break than holding low breath pressure? I’m not sure but she heard your hobbit video and fell in love so I need to find her something.
@@Juliadeer all I can say is, it will be extremely different, and likely very difficult. But, I guess that's the case with most new instruments 🤣
I am wondering if there is a specific type of oil to use???? what kind of oil do you keep the metal parts lubricated with?
It's a brass tuning slide, so grease for brass instruments (trombone, trumpet, French horn etc.) would be ideal. Quick Google search will help you find somewhere you can order from near you 😊
@@CutiepieTinWhistle thankyou.
You´re so beautiful. A Question? How mastered the sound? Love you
Wilson Castillo Freak Films I say in the video 😊 right after the mastered sound clip 😉
Ok... Thanks so much... A hug (:
Hmmmm? This video replaced the same one you uploaded earlier... Technical difficulties perhaps? Or a conscious decision? It is a great video!
Zambzz haha, I don't know how I didn't notice. Glad someone did! It's clearly been a long week 🤣
CutiePie Stephanie... The thing that I've noticed and missed the most is you in that beautiful outfit you were wearing in the other missing video segment. Are we going to be seeing you in that outfit again soon?
Burt Eastwood there's a whole video wearing it somewhere... From last week I think 😉
You do have a nice wardrobe, just a shame summer does not last longer in this country... :)
CutiePie Yes, Shortly after I made the comment my small brain kicked in and I searched for you wearing it in another video. But in the other video that I found the lighting was different and the green did not show up as well. So it was a bit confusing. And I must be honest I was taking and making every opportunity to give you a compliment... You must know that by now. And getting a reply from you is like Christmas in July. Especially since it is July. Ha ha. Thank you for all that you do!

Look at it because I saw you play it in the beginners guide and liked the sound of it, although not sure if you did something to the sound... and looking around. I liked the idea of the Carbony as well, but it tends to sound a little less in my liking. I have tried to get the Carbony to send you a Whistle High G for you to test out so we can all hear it! :) Looking into the higher levels as well for certain purpose. Anyway...
Hi, I just got my DX005 (same as yours :) ) When I use it with my tuner it says its A5 and not A4, is yours the same?
Also it seems prone to some wierd vibrations in D, and A' just squicks unless I blow really hard (compared to all other notes) Does your whistle have the same characteristics. It might just be me who need to get used to a new whistle :)
Troels K not that I've noticed, but it did take me a long time to get used to, so stick with it, it's likely just a case of getting to know it 😊
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll stick with it for a few weeks, and see how it goes. By then my MK Low D should arrive, and it's time to have a look at that :) I just cannot help myself :)
