I am a flute player but needed an F flute and the makers all have very long wait times. So I bought this whistle to get me by for now.
It is well made although the edges of the holes are a little rough feeling. It takes a bit of air to play when you are used to a flute (where you can control your airstream). But it takes a lot less air than a Susato F whistle.
It seems to be not quite in tune with itself but that could be because I have yet to get the feel for the amount of air needed for the different notes. Because the vibration of the air is made by a fixed fipple (and can't be controlled by tightening and loosening your lips as on a flute) the strength of your breath makes a big difference to how in-tune a note is on a whistle.
In conclusion it is a well-made instrument of strong material. The finish of the hole edges could be better but it doesn't affect the playing. I much prefer it to the Susato F in plastic that I bought first time. It rquires less air and I prefer the sound as well.

Rich, Responsive Sound with Strong Projection for Alto Whistle Players
Aaron Dolan 21.09.2024
The Kerry Whistles Alto Tunable F stands out for its rich tone and strong projection. It’s very responsive, making it easy to transition between octaves with little effort. The craftsmanship is excellent, as expected from Kerry Whistles, and the tunable feature adds versatility in ensemble settings. If you’re in the market for an alto whistle in F, this one’s definitely worth considering.
