Clarke Orginal D Whistle




 

    Made by Clarke Whistles - Made in England since 1843, the original and still hugely popular.

    Made of tin-plate with a wooden plug in the mouthpiece. Delicate operations still continue to be done by hand and, most importantly, Robert Clarke's traditional conical bore has been retained to give the instrument its unique sound, called "chiff", and no other tin whistle has the same degree of "chiff" as a Clarke.

    The tone of the Clarke Tinwhistle is clear and flute-like, but it is also described as "crisp and responsive" by Bill Ochs; and "husky and sensual" by Mary Bergin. All these descriptions add up to "chiff"; What Tommy Makem calls, "The great Clarke tone". This is what makes a Clarke Tinwhistle unique.
