A Special AnniversaryEdition Product

This is a special anniversaryedition has the same conical body as the Clarke original, but in silver with a gold coloured medallion near the top of the whistle.

Clarkes Original Tinwhistle is still produced in essentially the same way as Clarkes first whistle made in 1843.

It has a tapered metal bore to bring the finger holes closer together and to increase the range and make the whistle more accurate in the upper registers.

The sound is difficult to describe in words, when comparing it to a plastic top whistle, but most people would say it is more musical, mellower, and has a little more character.
