Author Description

After over 150 years of continuous production of the famous Clarke PENNYWHISTLE, the Company has now produced a brand new type of tinwhistle, the SWEETONE. This is the first conical bore tinwhistle to have been made with a plastic mouthpiece - the combination of traditional workmanship with modern technology. Easy to play; with a clear and accurate tone and readily affordable. It is the ideal instrument leading naturally, later on to the more advanced original PENNYWHISTLE - the whistle of the professional player and the enthusiastic amateur. Strangely enough, it is those professional players and enthusiastic amateurs who are enjoying the SWEETONE - not as an alternative to Clarke's PENNYWHISTLE, but as an additional tinwhistle they can use for its contrasting tonal qualities - sweetness and delicacy as opposed to strength and robustness. The sound to match the mood of the tune being played.Clarke Tinwhistles do not contain lead. They all have the Standard U.S. ASTM F963-07 certificate of compliance.
