With no previous whistling experience, at the beginning is quite frustrating, you start to think the whistle is not well made, but after a couple hours of practice like scales and octave jumping, the whistle becomes a really great one, bear in mind that this whistle carries a unique clear timbre, it doesn't sound like the average whistle and it is not perfectly, perfectly tuned to the very exact frequency (that's quite a COMMON thing with ANY pretuned instrument and I'm just a psycho perfectionist) and because of those two little things I bought another whistle, big mistake... when it comes to cheap mass produce whistles, Sweetone is kind of the best you can get: notes are reliable not matter the air flow and it requires practically no air to play.
Negative points are that to my taste, the mouthpiece is a little wide, even though this was supposedly created by some legendary whistler back in the 90s, much worst whistles like the Feadóg Brass have a more comfortable mouthpiece, the whistle I guess because of the tapered bore design, was at times giving me cramps in the opponens pollicis muscle, also the Sweetone looks too much like a toy and those colours do not help, only one that looks decent is the black version even though that logo in the front is a horrible thing.
If Clarke will make this whistle with a uniform brass tone (no embedded logo or just and easily removable sticker) and a slightly narrower mouthpiece, I'll only buy this whistle.
