Shush pro d nice whistle and good service.

Great service. Shush pro d ( b stock )
Lovey neat little whistle, very small paint blemish not really noticeable. Quiet, full tone. Just make sure you don’t over blow. Great if you don’t want to disturb others when practicing.
There was a problem with Royal Mail late delivery but James was very reassuring with a backup plan. Good customer service is when problems arise and get sorted in a satisfactory way. Many thanks.

Hi Peter. Thanks you for your kind review; Ideally there would never be any problems, but we try to sort things out when needed! I agree that the Shush Pro can take a little adjustment in breath control but it rewards you with a rich tone at low volume. James

Hi Les. We try to answer Customer emails within 2 working days, so I'm sorry that I didn't pick up your email from Friday afternoon. I sent a reply to your 2nd email this morning regarding late delivery. All the best. James

First

First, the whistle is excellent, it's exactly what I needed.I love the quality of sound it produces as well as the quality and feel of the whistle.
I was disappointed after paying extra to have the whistle delivered in 7 to 9 days was not dispatched until after I left on holiday 19 days later.
I eventually was rewarded with my wonderful whistle
when I got home. ( cost- 2X £65

My Goldilocks Whistle - Not too big and not too small

The whistle arrived quickly and well-packed to Saudi Arabia. I have a few D whistles and one MK Pro Low D. I bought the F whistle to play along with Three Legg'd Mare's version of "Dacw 'Nghariad" and it's quickly become the 'Goldilocks' of my whistle collection, not too small and tending towards shrill like the D whistles, or too big and chiffy like the low D. When I just want to play and am not worried about the key, this is the whistle I reach for.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service - in what I’m sure must be the busy and stressful pre-Christmas rush. I made an error with my order, I got a speedy out of hours response by a real person who fixed it immediately. Order arrived very quickly and was just what I wanted. Would definitely recommend and use again. Honestly - they should have 6 stars!

Great people to deal with

Great people to deal with - fast, friendly and efficient.
Saved the day for me with a high D substitute Chrismas prezzy, to stand-in for another one ordered from Ireland (hint - just don't do that....) which failed to appear after spending 5 weeks in a EU sorting office god knows where. Ordered and received from Big Whistle in 3 days flat. Keep up the good work in Sheffield!

Very good build quality

Very good build quality. Shipping container (tube) is very good It is a present to my daughter who lives across the country. I tried to ship to her address directly but the app wouldn't use her city, Medford Massachusetts, just Winchester. The street is in both cities. So I am shipping it to her today. Otherwise it's a 5.
