### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for a beginner or for solo playing, but...
*by J***E on April 18, 2021*

I bought this Whistle as a gift for my grandson, whose favorite color is red. I must confess I was disappointed when I opened the package when it was delivered. But that is actually my own fault as I did not read the product description carefully enough. The disappointment was the whistle does not come with a fingering chart nor with a storage pouch, which I should have known if I had read the product description more carefully. Important for a gift for someone, who currently does not know how to play a whistle, so I will end up giving my grandson a storage pouch and a fingering chart from one of my other Clarke whistles. The color of the whistle has a slight orange tinge to my eyes. So it is more of a chromatic red than the deep red color I had been hoping for. Since this is going to be a gift, I have not played the whistle itself, so the rest of my comments about playing the whistle are based on my experience with other Clarke Sweetone D Whistles. This is a very good whistle for beginners. The fingering holes are relatively close together making it ideal for the small hands of children , but still playable by adults. It has nice clear tones; not breathy like the tones of an original Clarke whistles with a partially wooden mouthpiece. It has a conical shape and takes less breath than whistles with a cylindrical bore like a Woodi or a Susato whistle. Taking less breath to play, it is also much easier to play notes in the second and third octave, and so would be less frustrating for a beginner, who has not yet developed breath control, to learn on. It also produces less volume than a cylindrical bore whistle. I play my own Clarke whistles when I am by myself and do not want the volume I would get from one of my cylindrical bore whistles. But less volume also makes it not as ideal if you plan to play with other people playing other instruments. My last comment has to do with the price of this whistle. The whistle by itself requires shipping. When shipping is taken into account, the whistle turns out to be slightly more expensive than other Clarke whistles (which include a fingering chart and storage pouch) that are available with Amazon Prime shipping.
