Decent! small guide book
Good easy to follow, small guide. Wouldn't pay over £5 as it's quite small but packed with useful information. So worth the £3 odd I spent for it.

As a Musician I like to teach myself additional Instruments to play for fun. The Tin Whistle was very modestly priced but represented excellent quality and very suitable for my needs. Frederick Howard

Very basic
Bought this to make up order to get free postage so was not too disappointed. This is more of a booklet and I would say it is suitable for someone who is a complete novice or for a child. It says you will have a "repertoire of songs" which include such songs as Baa Baa Black Sheep and God Save the Queen. This is a very basic book so don't expect too much.

Good for beginners
If you’re a beginner the text is really easy to follow. I wouldn’t recommend it for more advanced players

A nice small beginner's instruction book
This is a good informative instruction book for beginners. The layout and diagrams are easy to understand. The only caveat I have with it is the inability to easily lay the book open to follow the diagrams for fingerings. Not a major problem, but a good ring/spring binding would enable a beginner to do this

How to play the Penny Whistle
Un libro muy sencillo, con muchos dibujos para que veas cómo se deben colocar los dedos para producir cada una de las notas. Cuenta con varias canciones tradicionales. Por el precio que tiene, si eres principiante, puede ser de ayuda. En mi caso, así ha sido.
