Hi, I purchased a Walton Brass mellow D and the lower notes have a nice tone, but when I play the b note, it sounds muted. Is there any tricks to bring out the tone, also does the Whistle need to be warmed up and will it eventually sound better the more I play the instrument?

The whistle is a simple but nice instrument .

You should check out some Cape Breton fiddle players for an “authentic” version. No disrespect.
