One cannot hear a slow air played with depth of feeling on a tin whistle by a true Celt without being drawn into, and sharing, the emotions expressed by the player. When Robert Clarke invented the Tin whistle in 1843, little did he know...
Its a great instrument to get going on and see if you enjoy it.
Can you find any other instrument that delivers over 2 octaves at this price?The plastic fipple is a significant improvement over the original tin with wooden block.
The lower octave sounds a bit airy at first, but after time, your embouchure adjustsCONCLUSIONAll this is to say that this Clarke Celtic Tin Whistle is a perfect beginner instrument and will last you years through intermediate playing
Who knew such a simple and inexpensive instrument could be so much fun!
But if your kids (or you) can blow softly, they are worthy of playing this lovely instrument
It sounds awful!Not even the redeeming pleasant Clarke-"chiff", I was so looking forward to
Clarke is the first Tin Whistle and still in many ways the best
It could just be that I received a dud, but my Clarke Celtic sounds nothing like the one in the video-review provided by another reviewer, even when I play along with him note-for-note
And on the Clarke when I don't squeak, I often don't get the correct sound / note

The high notes are rather difficult to sound clearly (without squeaking)
Difficult to hit higher notes clean, but that requires practice.
They both sound about the same but as a beginner I have found the Clarke much difficult to play the correct notes and have tended to squeak on the lower three notes (D, E, and F#) and the upper octave.
The higher notes aren't the smoothest, but a great whistle to learn with.
The notes are much clearer and it's has a beautiful shape

One cannot hear a slow air played with depth of feeling on a tin whistle by a true Celt without being drawn into, and sharing, the emotions expressed by the player
When Robert Clarke invented the Tin whistle in 1843, little did he know that it would become the perfect wind instrument to be played universally in all the Celtic lands
It can be heard in concert halls, broadcasts, churches and, above all, especially in Ireland, in the pubs
It is easy to play; inexpensive; and can be carried so as to be available for performances on all occasions
The Clarke Celtic Tin whistle in the Key of D comes with its own fingering chart and five traditional Celtic tunes, one each from Wales, Scotland and Brittany and two from Ireland
The whistle comes decorated with a Celtic Knot and is individually gift boxed.
