Tony Dixon Polymer Non-Tunable Irish Whistles
Product Description
Tony Dixon’s one-piece non-tunable range of whistles are constructed from polymer, a plastic material that enjoys similar tonal characteristics to wood but doesn’t require the constant care and maintenance.
Since September, 2011 these have been offered exclusively with a tapered bore.
The tone of Tony’s whistles could generally be described as pure, mellow, sweet and slightly “chiffy”, their volume as on the quiet side but not too quiet. Being as such they are equally at home when played around the house, at a small session or when mic’d for stage or studio.
About
Tony Dixon from Devon, England has made quite a name for himself over the last few years with his wide range of whistles, flutes and “Duos” (one body with interchangeable whistle and flute head joints). Being an accomplished musician, Tony doesn’t let an instrument out of his workshop that he wouldn’t be happy playing himself. That attitude combined with efficient manufacturing processes allows Tony to offer instruments that sound “like a million bucks” yet cost much, much less!
