Can you tune this penny whistle?

Of course it can be tuned, but first you will need to loosen the plastic head. http://www.thewhistleshop.com/beginners/maketunable/makeit.htm

I don't think it's all that loud but if you blow hard on it I guess it could be. It's just a basic cheap plastic whistle.

Yes it lights up to the tune so I would pick a long melody here a video :) http://youtu.be/OycjExoC4Yg

As long as the instrument is equal tempered (based on 12 note chromatic scale), you should be able to tune with this tuner. Sincerely, Kevin - Daybreak Enterprises, Inc.

You could tune to any instrument type but you would most likely need to change the strings to get the best tone. I would change the fourth string first.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though. I hope that works.

Hi there,I am sorry to say that,but this gadget is buzzing on everything you pointed at. I bought it and I regret that because this is a piece of junk. If you like it good luck with it,otherwise wasted money.

I've seen one of these tuners used in tuning an antique reed organ, the reeds of which are essentially the same as those in harmonicas. I just opened a Hohner chromatic harmonica I have and observed the tell-tale scratches of tuning done at the factory (so a harmonica most certainly CAN be tuned) but I know I'd be nervous about attempting it myself.

I have not been able to. There may be a way but as far as i know the two buttons ring exactly the same. The tunes are a bit cartuneish... I had to go thru a bunch of the available tunes in order to find one that wasn't.... too annoying. Old susanna just isn't a tune i want to hear when there is someone at the door... Especailly if the person at the door is Susanna!

Sorry, not sure. After looking inside the whistle, I'd say perhaps chrome-plating over copper.Perhaps you could contact Acme, the manufacturer. It's a wonderful piece.

It's not made as an elec/acoustic and I don't think it would be very easy to modify since the hole is so small. However, I have seen videos on youtube of people playing it plugged in so it is possible.

I use it only at my weekend house and don't remember if it has a whistle. Not only do you need a whistle, but you need one you can hear!

Yes, you can adjust it so that it doesn't whistle by lifting the little cap off the spout. But isn't that the point of having a whistling tea kettle? So you know when the water is boiling?Contrary to another review, we feel this is a very well made kettle and are extremely happy with the quality of the piece. I sent two others back before we settled on this one.

I don't know anything about how to attach a whistle, what U need to attach it, etc., etc. I never knew U could buy 1 to attach. Good luck!

Hi! :-) Just pull the cover apart, like the lid of a text marker/pen etc., don't unscrew, . The screw-thing is just for justifying the tone/sound of the whistle (deeper or higher frequency).Hope that helps.
