20 euros, Dixon Eb included+ shipping.

I have a Dixon DX004 in my pocket much of the time, the all-polymer 2 piece one. The head comes off and the body tub just about fits in a standard men’s front pant pocket. The only issue is that the bottom of the head part, being ...

I have a Tony Dixon DX005 D whistle. It separates about 1/3 of the way down and the body by itself is roughly 7 1/4 inches in length. The section with the head is roughly 5 1/2 inches long.

Well you know what! I purchased a feadog FW17 and a Dixon DX004 and having played them a lot over the last week I am sending them both back. It has made me realise how nice the Clark Meg sounds even if the top B is a little, I think, flat but at this ...

I"ll trow in a Dixon Eb whistle. I'll sell everything for 25 euros+ shipping.

... so yes I would say it's totally down to me. Thank you for your kind and helpful advice. I will try your suggestions and have sent away for the Dixon DX004 High D tuneable so hopefully will get a rounder sound than the top squeaky notes I seem to be getting now. Part of the problem is that I ...

... kind of thing's useful if you want to practise late in the evening. If you want to try another high D without spending a lot on it, maybe try a Dixon DX1004D? They're about £20, tuneable, not especially loud, and they warm up pretty much instantly.

... apologising that they've become too costly to supply with a whistle. Would be nice if they at least came with a cheap sliding plastic case like Dixon and Kerry whistles come in. The tuning slide has PTFE tape on it, though is a little loose for my liking so I'll add some more when I get home ...

... These compare favorably. They are thicker-walled aluminum (unlike the Oak). Their tone quality is about halfway between an Oak and the aluminum Dixon (which is the only other aluminum whistle I have). They are not tunable, but tuned pretty well to A440, at least at room temps. They have a spot-on ...

gone.

... clean it off if I get one. I'd be interested to know where you heard the UK comments from, was it another forum? I hear what you say about the Dixon, I have three of their 001's (not fives as I put above) and I just love the sound and the way they play, it suits the kind of stuff I play.

... [to paraphrase] okay for the money if you're prepared to go to that much trouble. If it were me I'd spend an extra three quid on a tuneable Tony Dixon. They seem reliable and sound good, though as mine is noticeably less air-efficient than my Killarney, I don't play it as much.

... owned a tuneable whistle, never had the need as I never play in public. I can't imagine that any whistle will ever please me more than my Tony Dixon 005's (I've got three of them). I generally only play airs, but I've got an exceptional Generation that sounds perhaps better for faster stuff. ...

It's a violation of seller self-interest, but PM if you want to make a counter-offer. It would have to be reasonable, but in the end, I really just want to get rid of this thing.

Time to clean out some projects that I must admit I'm not going to finish :boggle: This is the body of a Tony Dixon DX-102 straight bore aluminum low D. The head broke a few years ago, and I had already moved on to a Ralph Sweet blackwood low D instead. The two rubber gasket rings ...
