Great flute for beginners and fans of 'loud'
I play flute, bagpipes and lute in a historical street musical theatre group where I have to compete with up to 5 guild drums. These whistles are very much up to the task of making themselves heard amongst the drums.
Some of my group members are learning to play the whistle as well and for this price the whistles are very good beginners instruments.
Yes, they are a bit loud, especially in the upper octave, but hey, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
So if you want to buy a very good whistle for concerts, this may not be the one, but if you want to start out or you need volume, this is certainly a good way to go.

Just get one
Never had a whistle before, or played a similar instrument.
Got one just to try it. At this price point, there is little reason I think to fault it. I got a lot of enjoyment out of this, well worth the money.

Lovely whistle, excellent value for money.
I bought both the D and G whistles together as postage was no more for one (£7ish to UK) than two. I've just taken up whistle, but got skilled friends to test my new ones. I bought on recommendation from someone at a workshop. We compared hers with various others. iIt compared well with a much more expensive Suzato and was far cheaper, and much better all round than a basic untuneable tin whistle, with a less harsh sound than one too.
Nice mellow tone, plays well and loudly enough through its range, not so temperature sensitive as a metal whistle, and plays nicely softly too (great for practicing without annoying the family/neighbours).
This whistle isn't actually one piece, as described on the website, but has a moveable/tunable head, which is rare in a whistle of this price range. It comes in a basic but adequate bag for the price with the D marked on the outside so you don't get the wrong one out in a hurry.
Quite delighted with my whistles!

Irish Whistle In D
This is the first time I have discovered the Thomann experiance which has been amazing, it's just a shame they only sell instruments.
They give a superb customer service and incredible customer satisfaction.
The quality and price of the whistle is amazing ,
like so many other whistle fanatics my stock of them increases in a failed attempt to find the right quality.
My search is over it is a joy to play even for a newbie like me and
Within a couple of days I have improved my technique.
Do not chase expensive whistles across the Internet, just buy from Thomann as you have nothing to lose.

Good value
The two pieces fit together snug and overall it feels fairly solid and not like a toy. It also has a pretty good tone. All things considered it's a good value.

Very nice solid whistle
Very similar to the famous Susato whistle, its probably based on its design. Great session whistle with loud clear tone and easy to play. Fantastic price for what you get!

Excellent value
I just included this whistle with a bulk order to have as a spare. I wasn't expecting much given the price but I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. This whistle is incredible value and is almost on a par with other whistles I have which were a lot more expensive.
The whistle produces a very clean and true tone with plenty of volume even at the upper octave. Considering there is also a case included it must be said that this whistle offers exceptional value!

Awsome for beginners
I bought this because I wanted to get into playing wind instruments and it fit my budget perfectly. It sounds good, it looks good quality. I have to admit I'm not the best at using it but for the limited skill I have I can say that It is good.
