How easy is the tuneable slide to use? (Have also emailed seller)

Very easy; it slides in and out. As with all tuneable whistles, it is suggested you lubricate the slider part regularly (I do mine monthly whether or not I am playing them. Any synthetic grease will do.

how do you tune whistles

Provided the whistle has a tuning slide - often made of brass or some other metal or alloy - you blow with fingers covering all holes to sound a d note with both halves of the whistle pressed together. This is the lowest note on a d whistle. You have to blow softly. Now compare this - if you have a good ear with the d above middle c on a piano. If the d on the whistle is higher then pull the two halves of the whistle apart - just a little - and carry on making small adjustments until the d’s match. If you don’t have a good ear then use an electronic tuner with a microphone - you can buy iPhone and android apps or even buy a complete tuner system such as those made by Korg & others. The tuner should be chromatic - able to recognise any note. Make sure whatever you buy has a microphone - clip on guitar tuners are really not suitable. Now you can tune to any note you want - see the note diagram that comes with your whistle which shows which holes to cover for particular notes. You probably will never get a perfect match for all whistle notes at the same time - so aim for about 10 cents away from the note. The tuner documentation should explain this. If the whistle doesn’t have a tuning slide you can’t tune it. Environmental conditions will affect the actual notes blown, but they will be pretty close to the scale of d in most circumstances
