Really happy with this whistle, but it is no longer tunable.
I received this whistle on Thursday, so l haven´t played a lot on it yet, but l am very happy with the rich sound in this whistle. Some say it takes a lot of air, and that is true in the 2nd octave, but in the 1st octave l find it very easy to play and get clean notes. When l go to the higher notes like high F and above it takes some air, and the notes are not so easy to play, but this is not necessarily the whistle´s problem. It could just as well be my skills that are not good enough. If it is my problem it should improve over time. All in all, l am very happy with this whistle. It is now being made in one piece, so it cannot be split or tuned like previous models. For me this is not a negative thing. Now l am awaiting my mezzo A. Looking forward to that and to see how that one will play. I like these new Busker whistles, because they are going back to basics with pure joy of playing without becoming too technical. So, l would buy this again.

Built like a tank
It has a distinct tone (not in a bad way), looks and feels sturdy.
It's also very loud.

Very Disappointed With This Whistle
I received this whistle and was very disappointed with it. It was not playable as it was impossible to play most of the notes in the second octave even when using a lot of air and the notes that I could reach had a “screechy” sound. I have a Kerry V5 Low D and am very happy with it so I was surprised at the poor quality of this whistle. Perhaps I received a “dud” but I had to return it and get my money back.

Hard to play in second octave and not tunable
In general, the quality looks fine, it's kind of fat and sturdy, sound is nice in first octave, but it is very hard to play notes in the second octave. It takes lots of air and you would need to play very loudly and unnaturally compared to first octave. Not very useful.
Also - comes out, it is not actually tunable, which is promoted in the product name.
Will return this.
