Generation Whistles 700513 Flageolet D-tuning nickel plated - silver

If you play a G, C and D xhord 3 times, a lucky leprechaun appears

Plays a great tune. Took me back to being a kid.

Mouthpiece takes a while to get the hang of but it's just a standard whistle. Good quality. Sticker began to fade/scrape after a few months but item carries a tone well if you have big lungs.

Needed for school, cheaper than I could find anywhere else

These are very cheap, but in my opinion, nasty whistles. The fact that there are so many videos on YouTube showing how to make them sound good is an indication that they are not good. Maybe I was unlucky and got a bad one. In the end I spent a few more pound and a plastic Tony Dixon which is worlds better than the generation.

As good as the most expensive tin whistles

Generation is probably the most ubiquitous of all whistles - Paddy Maloney of The Cheiftains plerformed on one. I learned to play on a Generation and, although I have various (and much more expensive) whistles for particular situations, the Generation is a good allrounder and, because it is cheap, one doesn't worry so much about forgetting it in a pub.

Lovely sounding flute and all notes are in tune with my electronic keyboard - excellent item and value for money.

Cette flûte a un très beau son, c'est ma 8e flûte irlandaise et ma première en tonalité FA et je la trouve très bien. Elle est plutôt aigu et elle a un son légèrement cristallin (logique, c'est une génération) mais cela se corrige très facilement avec un petit bout de patafix (comme on le voit sur la photo)

El producto esta bien, buen material. el sonido no es malo. La distancia de los agujeros son especialmente estrechas, siendo bastante dificulta su practica. Para una flauta para niños.

Good and soft sound

I've only been playing for a few weeks but in that time I've purchased several whistles. Since many are inexpensive I was interested in trying different types to see if one felt better to me. I was most happy (so far) with the playability of my brass Generation D so I decided to try out the Nickel version. It became my favorite immediately! I like the look of the Nickel more than the brass and it has a nice feel in your hands although I'm not sure if there is any real weight difference in the two. The best part was it seemed easier to play than any of my others; I was able to play the D without screeching and when I attempted high notes they actually sounded like notes and not like I was being attacked by seagulls! I actually feel like I will be able to play music and not just practice scales forever! I have heard that because of the way the whistles are made you can buy several of the same brand and have a few duds, so this may have been my lucky draw, but if my experience is any indication of this whistles character I hope you try it out. As far as the tone goes I'm afraid I'm a little too inexperienced still to offer an educated critique but it sounds nice to me and again, being able to play the notes well as soon as I got it out of the package was a nice surprise and a boost to my motivation! It did arrive in a mailing envelope and not a box but was in excellent condition.
