Clarke Tinwhistle CWD Celtic D Whistle - Dark Green

It is what it is, a cheap but toneful Celtic Whistle. No issues achieving 3 octaves with it, and it plays quite well. The 2 lower tone holes can be awkward to seal in fast play, but it's a cheap whistle, you don't get perfection at £7. This, however, is as close as that price allows. Great whistle for beginners, students, and even for pro's who wish to carry something inexpensive for impromptu performing.

Delivered today, and I am very pleased. The whistle plays well, and you only have to blow gently to get down to the D octave. The first tune I knocked out was Danny boy, and I loved it. This will be great to take to parties with my Irish friends for this xmas and new year celebrations, if we can meet during this virus pandemic that is. For the price, I just cannot knock it at all, it will be a great tin whistle to take around with me wherever I roam. I highly recommend beginners to start with this, then as you progress, you can then go for one of the hand made ones costing a few hundred quid. I play saxophone, so this was just an instrument to play all my favourite Irish jigs with for pure fun with friends. Sláinte 👍❤

After reading information on various websites I decided I wanted a conical whistle and I chose this one because I liked the design best. Please note that this is a standard Clarke Sweetone with a different paint job. I recieved my Traditional Clarke Celtic Tin Whistle today and started playing it straight away. What a lovely sound! I play several musical instruments including soprano recorder, flute and soprano saxophone. So I know how to read music and how to blow into a woodwind instrument. My new whistle has a mellow, full, clear sound in the lower octave and a full, stronger sound in the higher octave. This is the first tin whistle I've played and I love it! Today I've practised 'Cooley's Reel' and it's coming along nicely although I can't play it fast enough yet. The only thing that surprised me a little is that this whistle is a little quieter than a soprano recorder, I expected it to be a little louder. However, the whistle is wonderfully in tune with the yamaha recorder my son plays. The whistle is shorter than a soprano recorder but the holes are spaced virtually identically. For someone with very big hands it might be rather a small instrument to play, but I have very small hands and this whistle is the perfect size. My seven year old son can easily reach all the holes as well. I would recommend this tin whistle to anyone who wants to play!

It's good value for money. I like the tone and the volume but the ridge down the back of the tube where the metal sheet is joined is an uncomfortable distraction. This whistle will do for the time being but I'll definitely be saving up for something very much better.

I bought two - one for my five year old and one for myself. Guess who’s winning in the enthusiasm scale! We’re learning together but I need ear plugs however, I always know where she is now! I think you’ll need simple songs to learn from some additional purchase.

Great price, nice sound, and can hit the high notes. This is my second tin whistle.

Perfect for little hands. My daughter who is 7, switched over from a polymer whistle to this at Christmas and can see an improvement in her playing, down to the tapered barrel it is easier for little hands to cover the holes better we find on the lower end of the scale. The tone of the whistle is also lovely.

This is not a proper tin whistle. The body should maintain the same circumference all the way through, like a pipe, but this one gets narrower at the tip. I’ve never seen anything like it. Unfortunately, the return window has closed, so the money is wasted. Do not buy this tin whistle.

リーコーダーやケーナと一味違う高めの芯の通った音と吹きやすさ！誰でも手軽に演奏できると思います。 「タイタニック」のテーマ曲で流れていた憂いのある響き！私はてっきり「ケーナ」かなと思っていましたが ティンホイッスルと知って驚きました。この楽器の存在を知りませんでした。コストパフォーマンスも良く手頃です。今、タイタニックで流れていたメロディーを練習中です。私はアマチュアのオーボエ愛好家ですが、楽器の扱いやすさは比較になりません。これ１本で余暇が豊かになると思います。

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!

Se escucha muy bien y tanto el plástico como el metal se sienten de calidad y no se desprenden y el metal es resistente

Let me preface this by saying that I have zero musical knowledge, training or natural ability; I love my wee tin whistle flute! It's a lovely colour, it has withstood all of my efforts to play it, and it makes very nice sounds. My much more skilled relative delighted us all playing songs on it and they were excellent! I decided to learn "Concerning Hobbits" on this (making the colour of the flute even more fitting) and if I ever focus more than 20 minutes a week on this endeavour I have every confidence that it will prove successful thanks to this instrument. An excellent purchase!

El envío muy rápido, al día siguiente la tenía en casa. Estaba tan ilusionada y me gustó tanto que estuve practicando durante horas según llegó. Es la primera vez que tocaba una flauta irlandesa pero los sonidos se sacan fácilmente si tienes paciencia. Ésta además tiene una relación calidad/precio muy buena, y un diseño muy bonito. Lo único negativo es que debe tener algún pequeño defecto de fabricación, porque tras estar horas, horas y horas practicando hasta la noche el primer día, a la mañana siguiente apareció partida por la mitad. Mi novio dice que puede ser algún problema con la aleación del metal...
