I've only ever played one Dixon whistle before, a base model DX004 a few years ago. And while it sounded fine, it just...never seemed much more than that. But I know a lot of folks play Dixon whistles and it turns out they've got quite a line. So in this video I'm breaking down two of that line: the DX005 all-plastic (with tuning slide) and the Trad Nickel, metal and plastic whistle to see which is the better buy and how they compare to some other options out there.
None of this is an ad - I just bought these whistles from Amazon. Feel free to check them out yourself:
