Description:
The Clarke Sweetone is made in England by the Clarke Tinwhistle Company, makers of tin whistles since 1843. Its tapered bore is designed to improve the range and accuracy of higher notes, while the precision mouthpiece supports good airflow and tone.
Easy to play and requiring very little air, it produces a clear, crisp sound with good volume. The key of D is widely used for Irish and folk session tunes and in most tin whistle tutor books, making this whistle suitable for beginners and serious players alike. The barrel features Clarke's drawing of a foot-tapping whistler.
