Product Description

Handmade in England of rolled tinplate, Clarke's famous pennywhistles have been around since 1843. The Clarke tinwhistle of today retains all the essential features of those played by Whistling Billy 150 years ago! The traditional conical bore has been retained to give the instrument its unique timbre and rounded tone. Like the originals. tin plate sheets are rolled, soldered. and polished by hand, after which the wooden plug (fipple) is inserted. Each instrument is then "voiced", ensuring a good clear sound. Key of C Whistle.

This review is from: Clarke Pennywhistle, Key of C

If you are only used to playing a D whistle (which is fine) treat yourself to this sweet, airy sounding C whistle. They have done a nice job putting it together, and it takes a different breathing tone, but once down, you will find it so useful for slow, soft, even mournful songs.... Well made, good price, and rapid shipping. A good deal.
