Susato Pennywhistle, Oriole Model, High D
Regular price $36.00
Folkcraft answered my questions about the product and sent the Susato C whistle promptly. Price was good and the whistle arrived intact. No problems.
It is really easy to play. You can get half steps with a little practice (though the included fingering chart is for a diatonic scale only). I’ve really enjoyed playing it.
I'm glad I purchased this whistle on the recommendation of Guy George. It is waterproof, tunable, and has a nice clear tone on the first octave (I haven't learned to control the second octave yet). Semi tones are easier on this as well. Highly recommended!
I bought a Susato Pennywhistle, Oriole Model, High D for my granddaughter who is a masterful flutist. She had been using a metal pennywhistle to play Irish jigs and reels, but it was a bit harsh and squeaky. When I gave her this Susato whistle and she ran through a few scales, we could both see that this was a great improvement over the metal whistle. And it is tunable. She loves it!
I picked up one of these at a dulcimer festival. It replaced a metal whistle that I had. This is easier to play, and has a clearer, less-harsh tone. Quality made.
