It comes with a fingering chart and five traditional Celtic tunes, decorated with a Celtic Knot, and is individually gift boxed—making it the perfect blend of authentic craftsmanship and modern playability for beginners and enthusiasts alike. ## Description 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. Review: Great Introduction to the Tin Whistle - My first whistle was the Clarke Original, and I'm still a fan of its sweet and breathy sound. I really liked playing whistles, so I indulged and picked up a few different kinds. The Clarke Celtic (which is a Sweetone with a green paint job) has a really nicely shaped mouthpiece that feels more comfortable than others I've tried. It is less breathy sounding than the Clarke Original, but still has a chiffy/airy quality. The whistles I find myself playing the most are a Freeman D Bluebird and a Freeman Tweaked C Generation. They have a purer tone, compared to the Sweetone. I go back and forth as to what I prefer. The fun thing about whistles is they are pretty inexpensive to collect. A few tips for new players - if the whistle is squeaking it's you, not the whistle. Make sure you make a good seal with the pad of your fingers (not your finger tips). If a hole is partially uncovered, you'll squeak. Put some lotion on if your skin is dry, it will help. The holes on a D whistle are pretty small, so it's really not that hard to get the hang of. I didn't have any squeaking issues, even as a beginner, but I played woodwinds for years. It seems like squeaking is something many struggle with. Keep your grip light and relaxed. This whistle, like all conical bore Clarke whistles, has a seam in the tin at the back. If you find that seam bothersome, chances are your grip is entirely too hard. Whistles are very lightweight instruments and only need a light hold to be secure. If you find yourself unable to stand the seam, look into buying a Generation or Feadog whistle instead. Both of those brands make cylindrical bore whistles, with no seams. Don't be surprised or frustrated if you have difficulty hitting the lowest notes or the highest ones. Some people have trouble sounding the low D (all fingers down), but the more common problem is that the second octave sounds like a shrill horrible dog whistle, or not even reachable. Give it a good month or two of practice. I have been playing about 2.5 months and I'm just now getting comfortable with the high A/B. Which is not to say it always sounds great, getting a nice tone in the upper octave will take even more practice. If you are used to playing a woodwind, you might be surprised by how little air is needed to hit the notes in the lower register. If you are getting shrill notes or overtones, try backing off and blowing more gently. You'll need to push a bit harder to get the higher notes. Sometimes it's helpful to think of blowing "slowly" for low notes and "fast" for high notes. I highly recommend the Bill Och's Clarke Tin Whistle book for beginners, and once you are about halfway through that, you can start on Ireland's Best Tin Whistle Tunes by Claire McKenna. I find it worthwhile to pay the extra couple bucks for the CD version, especially if you don't have access to a teacher. The whistle is an instrument that you can learn pretty quickly and yet you can spend years mastering. It's great for kids and adults. If you're curious, just order it, it's pretty inexpensive and fun! Review: So much fun! - I saw an online review of this whistle and decided to give it a try. The quality of the instrument and the sound quality is much better that you would expect for the cost. It is great for a beginner, and made of durable materials. I would highly recommend this as a starter whistle. ## Features - Key of D - Easy to play - Comes with its own fingering chart and five traditional Celtic tunes, one each from Wales, Scotland and Brittany and two from Ireland - Comes decorated with a Celtic Knot and is individually gift boxed - Handmade in the U.K. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002I8Y6W | | Brand | Clarke Tinwhistle | | Brand Name | Clarke Tinwhistle | | Color | D-Celtic | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,665 Reviews | | Finish Type | Painted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026600000004, 08774120003440 | | Included Components | With Case | | Instrument Key | D | | Item Dimensions | 0.6 x 0.6 x 10.1 inches | | Item Type Name | Whistle | | Item Weight | 0.05 Pounds | | Manufacturer | KMC Music Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | CWD | | Material | Brass | | Material Type | Brass | | Model Name | Celtic Tinwhistle in D | | Model Number | CWD | | Style | Traditional | | UPC | 026600000004 | | Warranty Description | N/a. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Clarke Tinwhistle - **Color:** D-Celtic - **Instrument Key:** D - **Material:** Brass - **Style:** Traditional ## Images ![- Clarke Whistle, Green (CWD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MsJzeXjuL.jpg) ![- Clarke Whistle, Green (CWD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FHKV+2usL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Introduction to the Tin Whistle *by L***. on December 9, 2012* My first whistle was the Clarke Original, and I'm still a fan of its sweet and breathy sound.

The quality of the instrument and the sound quality is much better that you would expect for the cost. It is great for a beginner, and made of durable materials. I would highly recommend this as a starter whistle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If it weren't slightly out of tune (and untuneable), this would still be my primary whistle *by C***X on April 3, 2015* I absolutely love this little whistle. I bought it with the intention that this would be my "cheap beginner whistle," and when I got better I would buy a higher quality one. Of course I sounded awful on it at first - that's pretty common for beginners, and I wonder how many of the one-star reviews simply hadn't played a tin whistle before. As the weeks and months rolled on, my husband noted that my playing actually sounded like music. My tone improved, and this whistle was very reliable. There was some breathiness in the lower half of the upper octave, but since it wasn't happening consistently I am guessing it's due to my playing and not the whistle itself. I didn't really treat this whistle with respect though, because it was cheap and slightly flat and untuneable even by common tin whistle "hacks," so I knew I would be getting a new one. I'd even use this as a drum on the chair when I didn't know the songs during sessions, so it has all sorts of dents in it, though I never had the mouthpiece cracking issues others have mentioned. Then, I bought my "next step up:" a Dixon Trad D. Oh wow, do I appreciate the Clarke now!!! I don't understand the excitement about it from other reviewers. The mouthpiece clogs every couple of songs, the sound is unstable when I jump between octaves, and the E in the upper octave makes an awful grating sound. Perhaps these issues are partly due to my playing technique or getting used to the whistle, but I NEVER once had the Clarke clog on me in a year of playing several times a week. Sheesh, I used the Clarke as a drumstick and it still plays reliably, and the Dixon Trad sometimes won't let me get through a full reel without locking up even though I take good care of it. The tone of the Dixon is slightly more "mature" than the Clarke, but that's the only thing I like about it so far, and I'll take a slightly recorder-like sound over obnoxiously frequent clogging anyday. I'm thinking of doing that anyway, as being almost unnoticeably off-pitch is probably less bothersome to my fellow sessioners at this point than the grating and awful noises that come with clogging. In sum, this is an excellent little whistle and VERY forgiving of beginners and all sorts of mistreatment. It's not perfect but it's a solid whistle, especially for the price.
