Clarke's Celtic Tinwhistle
Key of D
The Sweetone is one of the best
whistles for a beginner - it is played very easily in the entire two octave
range, and is capable of all the ornamentation that other whistles are. It is
made by Clarke - a company that has been making whistles since 1843. The fipple
(mouthpiece) was designed for Clarke by Michael Copeland. Mr. Copeland made the
whistle that was played in the movie "Titanic", and also is believed to have
made the whistle that was played by Captain Picard on a few episodes of Star
Trek. His whistles now almost always have a very long waiting list (This is
not a Copeland whistle, but the fipple was designed by him).
It has a wonderful bright sound, with a 2 octave
range. Also included is a fingering chart and songsheet. The whistle is made of
tin-plate, and the mouthpiece is plastic.
It comes in a nice gift box and comes with a song
sheet that includes seven Celtic tunes, a fingering chart, notes on care for
your tinwhistle, and the Robert Clarke story.
Note that this whistle can also be made tunable. Take
a look in our Beginner's Section
for more info on how to do this.
(Don't forget to order a
Whistle Pouch for your whistle!)
