If I don't come to check the your whistle reviews, I come to grab the positivity and the genuine smile that you always have :) Thank you for your videos.
A Shush Pro arrived at my doorstep today. Quite lovely to look at, begs me to not blow loads of air, and has a great balance for my liking. It's definitely a keeper.
Given that the Shush Original is quieter, that is the one to go for if wanting to avoid noise complaints. The decibel scale measures increases in loudness on a logarithmic scale, so a couple of decibels difference, which looks like nothing on a meter, is actually a huge difference in relative loudness. An increase of 3dB can appear to sound twice as loud all other things being equal. Buy the Shush Pro for the richer more rounded sound, not for its’ quietness.
Thank you for your videos! 😊 Would you recommend the Shush (Pro) just because of the lower volume or can it also compete in its price range in terms of sound and playability? 🤔
Whistles play a range of notes in a selected key. D whistles play the notes in the D major scale, C whistles play the notes in the c major scale.

I grabbed one after watching your review. The low D and E take a wile to get used to - they are easy to oveblow. The high B is a bit louder than expected. But overal it is quite good practice whistle - definitely quieter than say killarney or Syn. Not sure about tunability - did not try to remove the fipple yet. My only complaint is that it seems to clog rather easily
With the Pro having thicker tuning, I wonder if the finish to the holes is any different. Some of us prefer holes with rounded edges to sharper edged holes. When you're reviewing whistles, I, for one, would appreciate your comments about the finishing of the holes. Keep up the great work.
I bought the original and it is a very nice sounding and mellow whistle. My Shush has a glued on mouthpiece so is not tunable unless I unglue it. One person says his Shush original has a movable mouthpiece. I wonder if yours is glued on.
I just got my Shush Pro, purchased because my High D whistles are too piercing a sound for my spouse, and I have to admit that the high range is painful to my own ears. My first impression of the Shush Pro is that it is definitely heavier than my Tony Dixon high D, brass vs. PVC. I like that weight. It's a nice looking whistle. The polished brass edge around the finger holes is a nice touch. The mouthpiece is small, feeling like blowing through a straw more than a mouthpiece, but it is not unpleasant. The most important thing is the sound, and the first thing to comment upon is the loudness. My spouse says it's the same loudness as my Tony Dixon, and the next comment is that if I'm going to keep practicing on it, he'll need ear plugs. The lower range seems softer to my ear, but the high range is still quite piercing and uncomfortable (especially the high A). I still need to play with over-ear sound protection earmuffs or it is painful. As one previous reviewer said, don't get the Shush Pro for quietness. The sound itself, especially on the lower octave is lovely, and warm. I like it quite a bit. It needs very little air, and it is easy on the lower notes (especially the bass note low D) to cause a squeak. I thought the Tony Dixon needed very little air, but this one needs even less for those low notes. This one is going to need a bit of practicing for those transitions.
Update: it took me a while to learn to play the Shush Pro without getting a squeak. But once I got there, I really like the sound of it. It's quite a clean clear sound, but there is also a softness to it that's pleasing. Ornaments are relatively easy and sound clean compared to, say the SweetTone. I still love my Tony Dixon high D, but the Shush Pro is just a tiniest bit cleaner.
Hi I have Dixon tunable alu, and when i hit the g, a b second octave its very hard to keep a Nice soft tone but i thought it only was my bad blow technique but pherhaps that high octave is a pain for most of us?
I ordered from them. I haven't heard any updates since then. Any way you can get their attention please? Id like to know where my whistle is but they dont respond to emails.
When did you order? 😊 if you send me a direct message on one of my socials, or an email with your full name and order number, I'll contact them. Don't put that info publicly here though. x
Mine arrived today, spent the day wondering why so many note breaks ,turns out the whistle head is loose with a proper wobble . Gutted as it feels nice to hold and potentially play hopefully shush will replace or refund.
I have so many tin whistles and now I want this one🥴 What would you say your favourite “make”of whistle? I think I like the MK pro the best 😊 I have got the MK pro in low D, Ed,F,And G,and I’m thinking of getting the Low C too.But not sure if my fingers would reach the gap🤔

never fails to cheer up ;) i agree
110% correct - CutiePie is a treasure.

We use the same tuner app, and that makes me happy.
Thank you for your videos! 😊

May i ask what is the difference between d and c tin whistles love your videos big fan love music
Whistles play a range of notes in a selected key. D whistles play the notes in the D major scale, C whistles play the notes in the c major scale.

Incredibly beautiful music and very interesting video.
Thank you CutiePie

@@jantonisito I haven't tried lately, but I'll give mine a wiggle, see what happens 😅

There wasn't a noticeable difference between the two on the hole finish 😊
Sounds really sweet actually 💞💞
I'm surprised that you can't get these on Amazon...
Very good review 😊

I tried to move it, but it seemed pretty stuck on the original 😁 the pro mouthpiece fits snugly but is greased and adjustable.
Thank you

the original shush is much softer than the tony dixon high d. I love using it indoors and the dixon when i'm playing outside.

It's quite a clean clear sound, but there is also a softness to it that's pleasing. Ornaments are relatively easy and sound clean compared to, say the SweetTone.

@@clive4312 Thank you! I'll have to consider it!

What would you say your favourite “make”of whistle?
I think I like the MK pro the best 😊
I have got the MK pro in low D, Ed,F,And G,and I’m thinking of getting the Low C too.But not sure if my fingers would reach the gap🤔
Lír whistles for me - well... For high whistles anyway. I like the Carbony low whistles 🤩 but I do like my MK 💚
My sister has the carbonyl in low D, but I don’t like it very much because I feel like I keep running out of breath
I'd say the pro is more responsive, sharper, louder, and crisp. The natural is more in tune, breathy, rounded, soft.
Buddy im gonna master this you dont even know
You are a very pretty girl
