“I've had this whistle for several weeks now and have played it every day. And although I can get individual notes to sound good, I cannot yet play a complete tune without the sound & tone disappearing to a squeak. The thing is--even with "piper's grip"--the stretches between the holes are just too great for my small fingers. And so I regret this purchase. That said, the whistle is well made, and in bigger hands probably sounds great. And so I'll give it 3 stars, and hope that, with perserverance, I'll manage a tune one day.”
