Mouthpieces

March 15th, 2024, PLEASE NOTE:
We have had ongoing trouble getting instruments (including mouthpieces)from Susato. Please contact us to check availability before placing your order for any Susato Kildare whistles!

If you have the urge to try your hand at whistle-making, you'll probably find it much easier if you have a pre-made mouthpiece to start with.

Suitable tubing for your whistle's body can be found at your local home center, plumbing supplier or hobby shop - or in your own bathroom, if the rest of your family doesn't mind living without the shower curtain rod and towel bars

You'll find that PVC, copper, brass and aluminum tubing are among the most popular materials for the bodies of home-made whistles.
 

Pictures below are not to scale!

Some mouthpieces are available that are not pictured below (see the full list at the bottom of this page)

Susato "Kildare" S-series Soprano Mouthpiece Shown (for 5/8" diameter body). Other Kildare Mouthpieces are also available below.	Walton's "Little Black D" Mouthpiece (for 1/2" diameter body)
Susato "Oriole" S-series Soprano Mouthpiece Shown (for 5/8" diameter body). Other Susato Mouthpieces are also available below.

 

These are mouthpieces only (they do not include the whistle body), so they are not playable by themselves!
For a full selection of ready-to-play instruments, see our Online Catalog.
