Clarke Tinwhistles The Original Tinwhistle Gold with Black Diamonds - Key of D
2 models to choose from:
The Original
The favourite musical instrument of distinguished tinwhistle players ever since 1843, this Clarke tinwhistle can be considered the Stradivarius of tinwhistles. The instrument is still made of tin-plate with a wooden plug in the mouthpiece. Delicate operations continue to be done by hand and, most importantly, Robert Clarke's traditional conical bore has been retained to give the instrument its unique "chiff", sound. No other tinwhistle has the same degree of "chiff" as a Clarke.
A beautiful tone "Crisp and responsive"
The tone of the Clarke tinwhistle is clear and flute-like, but it is also described as "crisp and responsive" by Bill Ochs; and "husky and sensual" by Mary Bergin. All these descriptions add up to "chiff". What Tommy Makem calls, "The great Clarke tone". This is what makes a Clarke Tinwhistle unique.
For all ages and abilities
The tinwhistle is a simple, traditional musical instrument; ideal for popular and folk music but it is also suitable for a much wider musical repertoire. It is just as good for solo playing as in ensemble with other musical instruments; and can be played by children, youth or adults alike.
