I just bought my brand new Dixon Low D Whistle (non-tunable) a month ago. I found out the holes too big for my fingers and I can’t stretch my fingers enough to play it. I would like to sell it to someone who can play it instead of putting in the shelf to collect dust. The original cost of the whistle was US $49.50 plus shipping. I would like to sell it for US $39.50 plus $5.00 shipping (USA only). If you are interested in buying it please send e-mail to me at tinwfun@hotmail.com

You might want to consider a Susato Low D, if your hands are really tinny. My friend who is about 5ft tall and has tinny hands can play the Susato low Ds pretty easily. So don’t give up on Low whistles just yet!
Thank you for your suggestions. I did try pipers grip method. I still have trouble to play it. I am thinking to give up on Low D and I may try Low A later.
Susato has wider spacing than the dixon.Low whistles are dificult for everyone in the begining, even for folks with larger hands.Why not work with a low F or Eb for a while and come back to the dixon later on?.When I took up the whistle a Gen Bb was a low whistle for me and absolutely impossible to play.A few years on,a low D is a piece of cake,well,sometimes.Peace,Mike
Before you sell it to someone you should contact the store/person you bought it from and ask if you can return it, maybe for store credit. If it’s as new and unused as you say I don’t see why they would have a problem..
