Description:
Made in England by the Clarke Tinwhistle Company, this historically correct whistle is produced in essentially the same way as the original, with delicate operations still done by hand. Its wooden mouthpiece gives it a more traditional character than a plastic-mouthpiece whistle.
The silver finish may vary in appearance between whistles without affecting the sound. The high D key suits Irish and folk session tunes and most tin whistle tutor books.
