Clarke Original D Tinwhistle - Special Edition 200th Anniversary - a traditional Irish Celtic Penny Whistle

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. To celebrate Robert Clarke’s 200th birthday, we have launched this special edition tinwhistle – The Original ‘200’. This is a special Anniversary edition of the Clarke Original Tinwhistle to commemorate the birth of Robert Clarke in 1816. It is the same body as the Clarke original in silver but, with a gold colored medallion near the top of the whistle. Clarke’s Original Tinwhistle is still produced essentially the same way as Clarke’s first whistle made in 1843. It has a tapered metal bore to bring the finger holes closer together and to increase the range and make the whistle more accurate in theupper registers.
