I made the trek over to the part of this website that I haven’t seen in about a year that reviews the major whistles. I found this and wanted to know if anybody tried one of these out. Anyone, what is it like?
There have been several threads on these whistles, try a search. I think the consensus has been that they’re a good deal if you really want a wooden whistle for wooden whistle’s sake. OTOH, they’re very harsh in the upper octave and require a ton of push to get there, at least a couple of us have had ours crack, and the tuning is possibly hit and miss.
I got mine out over the weekend, and this impression is pretty much borne out again after 2-3 years. It’s not as difficult to play toward the top as I had remembered, but the tuning is still not that great, it’s still cracked (no great revelation there, still not leaking though), and the sound at the upper end is still just plain nasty.
I agree with Charlie… though I’m getting mellower in my old age and the whistle has been growing on me a bit (just a bit, though).
Charlie and EricT hit the nail pretty squarely on the head, matching my own experience with the whistle. But for the price, I’d say it’s a fairly cheap way to find out if you want to enter the world of superb wooden whistles, ie. Busman, Abell, and Thin Weasel.

They also make a line of Weltmeister recers. The Weltmister recers are known as blemished instruments that have been painted over.
I have one of their non-Weltmeister wooden whistles. I like its strong volume and sound. It does tend to be a bit shrill in the upper register, but I don’t find the breath-requirement to be very high.
Wouldn’t a Sweetheart be more appropriate? Talking of an underrated instrument, but with a craftsman standing behind…
Like this one from a fellow chiffer…
I’d compleetely forgotten about Sweethearts, which were my first foray into wooden whistles!
