The tin whistle is a simple, six-holed, end-blown fipple flute held vertically just like a recorder. It is commonly made with a brass or nickel-plated brass tubing and a plastic mouthpiece or fipple. It can also be made of all metal, wooden, and PVC. It is generally cheap and easy to use.
Also called the Irish whistle, the tin whistle is used in traditional folk music particularly in Ireland. It is usually the starting instrument played in traditional Irish music.
Handmade: Choose a tin whistle individually crafted and “voiced” by a craftsman to get better tonal quality. Tuning: Choose a tin whistle with a tuning adjustment for more versatility. Look for one with a fixed tuning if you only want to get the standard sound.
