Tony Dixon WHISTLE, silver (DX107G)

I wanted a Dixon Low G whistle - because, well GAS - Gear Acquitision Syndrome is a thing with musicians...The Dixon Low G Whistle (model # DX107G) has a bright sound, and has the Dixon Tuneable Polymer Head and a "Sturdy Alloy(aluminum) Body." It's a bit thicker walled, but that's not a problem, the aluminum body is not as heavy weighted as it looks. The key holes are closer together than a Low D (not as close as a 'high' D) , so I can get away with NOT using the piper's grip, but it's just easier for me now to play with piper grip. It's a little bit louder, definitely brighter, than my Freeman Tweaked Low G, which is a thin-walled brass, and non-tuenable, whistle. But that's not a slam on either whistle; one more different whistle for a different 'job'.The holes SEEM a bit small for my fingers, but a) that's personal taste, b) I'll get used to it, the more I play it... like any instrument.Good Solid Whistle, great tone -for group playing, does require a bit more air than the Dixon trad D, but it's a bigger piece of pipe/whistle - NEEDS more air to play.BIG SHOUT OUT to Gary Stone & Hobgoblin Music in Red Wing MN - got it to me VERY FAST (less than a week) and it was VERY well packed... took me nearly 20 minutes to get the packing tube open, although I was trying not to destroy the tube, or mess up the inside plastic square tube.YES, I'd order again, from Hobgoblin (plan to!) and at the reasonable price of just under a hundred bucks, Dixon has a good Low G whistle, ( and now I do too!)

This is my second Dixon whistle and I love them both. I would definetly would buy from this seller again too.I like a little breathy sound of this whistle. It is well in tune, second octav is easy to play for me, playing well with alternative fingerings (A#, G# and F#). Good medium size whistle- with my L size hands no need for pipers grip. Very versatile and suitable for lot of tunes. Not too loud or quiet and so on... Definetly recommended! If you need really bright and loud whistle, maybe choose something else. Lir whistles are quite loud and bright and also very good quality.

This is a pleasant whistle, with a nice low range. The tone is rather breathy. I wish I knew how to voice it. It also takes a pretty good amount of air to induce it to fill up, more than my Killarney low whistle. I have a hand injury which keeps me from using the low whistle well, so this mezzo is a nice compromise. For those who play recorders, it can be fingered as if it was an F recorder to give the actual written pitches.

I was a bit disappointed when trying to play the higher octave on this new low G whistle which plays a bit flat. (The lower octave is in tune)I have a small high D whistle of this brand which plays in tune, (both octaves). So, bummer.The finish of this low G whistle is matte, not as shiny and polished as the high D and the high D has a more attractive and fancy mouth piece which is easier to adjust than this one.

My whistle arrived today, quite early from the UK (not expected until 5/17). I am a fan of Dixon whistles, which are well made and perfect for players at many levels. I have several D whistles, C, B flat, Low D, and now G. The whistle itself is still warming up--will update at a later time.

The Dixon alto G & A whistles play nice. They're lighter in weight than I expected (not a bad thing). What I love most about these whistles is the finger spacing on the lower three holes: very accessible for my hand size, unlike some of the other alto whistles I've played, which greatly reduces hand fatigue.The main drawback to these whistles is that they are both a little difficult to play the highest couple of notes cleanly; this may change the more I play them, however.Overall, these are great instruments. Also, the vendor was very responsive and they arrived a day or two before promised. Great work: very much appreciated.

Love this thing. Sounds great, plays great.Instant fave

Hello! I ordered the DX107 tuneable low G alloy whistle and it arrived today. Something is wrong with it.I really enjoy Dixon whistles and currently own 9 others:DX001 single piece D (3 of these)DX004 tuneable DDX006 soprano whistletraditional nickle soprano in DDX102 tuneable low DTB003 single piece low DTB014 single piece tenor fluteWhen my DX107 low G arrived today, my first impression was that the whistle has a malfunction. Nearly every note on the low scale is cracking--with harmonics and a vibrating sound (not shoot up the octave from too much air pressure). My other low whistles from other companies and Dixon are not experiencing this problem.I went to try adjusting the mouthpiece, and it is stuck in place. The whistle advertised and is labeled and has the mouth piece for tuneable, but it isn't moving. And, I believe something is wrong with it which is causing the whistle to not play notes in the low scale.Can I please exchange this for another Low G whistle from Dixon?
