I received my Feadog Pro D and Dixon Trad (which you highly recommended). The Pro D plays as I have read about - a little less sensitive than the standard brass. The Trad is just as you described, Blayne. It sounds good and is smooth to play - I am truly enjoying it. Thank you so much for your time and advice. It was above and beyond and I will buy from Whistle & Drum again!

Thank you for recommending the Jerry Freeman tweaked tinwhistle! Just shows that a bit of tweaking can really go a long way toward improved performance and better tuning! Thanks again from a satisfied customer!
