Also interesting that on their website it says that they are “made of PLA plant sugar, non-toxic and biodegradeable.” Perhaps that explains the sweet tone, as you mentioned. :-)
I just made my own design of a 3D printed whistle. Still working on it but it works! I can blow it into tune but the high notes have to be played very loudly so I am going to work on the hole sizing but I print mine vertical so that there isn’t a flat ridge on the back. Although they might do it that way so they don’t need to add supports.
Thank you for that in-depth forensic analysis of the 3D printed pennywhistles from River Whistles. You always do your homework before rendering an informative and veracious review. BTW: That 100K subscription count will be a defining milestone - worthy of the coveted RUclips award. 😊
A thorough review, your standard is pretty high in that respect. Well done. Some time ago you presented low D whistles with a reduced hole spacing - was it Celtic wind? - possibly 3d printing could well produce these kind of whistles as well.
With the correct design, yes, surely could be done, though potentially rather fragile if 3D printed. It's Carbony Celtic Winds that currently make the close finger spacing whistles with internal chimney extenders 😁
Always down for reviews of a budget whistle option! Looks like they have low G offerings - I may have to spring for one! My hands are too tiny for low D (and can't afford the close spacing ones from Carbony yet). Thanks for the thorough review!
Where can I download the 3D print plans for this tin whistle? I have a 3D printer at home and would like to branch out to printing musical instruments (currently bored of printing figurines and butt plugs).
I assume you can't, as it's been created by the whistle maker, who wishes to sell them to make money from his creation/design :) I think there is a plan out there somewhere you can buy for the Quistle though (another 3D printed whistle).
@AdamMclardy If I can add some advice here - don't get involved when someone says they 3D print adult toys ;) just glaze over the comment it like it never happened :D haha
Although I enjoy designing and 3D printing things, it seems counterintuitive to pay $30 for a 3D printed whistle with rough finish when I got my Clarke Celtic for $13 and I think it is a little bit better behaved based on your review. I also have a Killarney brass D that sounds even better for 3X the cost. So I guess it's just the novelty aspect.
Sounds α lot like my Dixon Trad whistle, which takes an excessive amount of air to hit the highest notes and gets so loud and goes way sharp. But I love to see 3D printed whistles! Hopefully high quality and cheap whistles made locally are on the horizon.
Accidentally, not intentionally 😂😂😂 if you have them in your back pocket, or on the sofa playing at home, or maybe in a pub/at a gig if you put it down between tunes etc.
@@CutiepieTinWhistle That's why hiking-trousers with leg pockets have been invented, I think. Or whistle holsters. (Strange, emojis don't seem to work :shamrock: )
Ha 🎉 I laughed at that one- occasionally gets left out on the piano and unseen when I close the lid - plastic is OK for practice, but I get vibrato and resonance from the carbon fibers , huge fan of carbony mezzo range A and B flat

Good one 😄

Thank you for your honest review!
Interesting info, beautiful playing, beautiful 'flutist'.
Incredibly beautiful music and very interesting video.
Thank you CutiePie
👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.
I was looking for this store on Etsy but they moved! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Very interesting. Lovely tones in lower octaves!

I have a low G, will be reviewing in a few weeks time 😊 x
A quality whistle which may be in your budget is Goldfinch in Poland and perhaps Susato in the US.

Don’t 3d print adult toys

@@AdamMclardy It's not a toy, it's a medical device. Sorry, I should have used the medical term "bowel incontinence plug".
You are amazing 💐
They do sound rather sweet. You could get some fine grade sandpaper to smooth off the ridge on the backs.
bonus orb at 3:47 in upper right corner :D

Great 👍💙
Thanks for another thorough review! It’s kind of cool that 3d printing can make a functioning instrument, but I don’t enjoy the scruffy look

That was my idea of getting a D whistle lol
Can you give us a “cowboy take me away” by the Dixie chicks tutorial? I’d like to do it for my moms bday
Who sits on whistles?

The second octave makes this whistle one to not purchase.
