Description:
This Clarke Original tin whistle offers a mellow, melodic sound with a slightly breathy character, good volume and the traditional Clarke 'chiff'. Its wooden-top design has a more traditional character than whistles with a plastic mouthpiece, and suits solos and quiet playing.
The conical bore brings the finger holes closer together, widens the range and supports greater accuracy in the upper register. This key of C whistle is one whole tone lower than the standard D whistle and has a slightly longer body. The silver colour is an overspray on tinplate, so its finish may vary between whistles; the sound remains the same.
