Get into the Irish spirit with our Black Irish Tin Whistle ‘D’ Key, a traditional wind instrument great for beginners or more experienced players. Irish whistles have a long history, dating back to the 1800s when they were constructed of tin. They were also known as penny whistles since they only cost a cent each, making them popular inexpensive gifts for children. However, as time went on, the design of these Irish whistles improved, and higher-grade metals were utilized to construct them, such as this Feadog whistle, which has a brass barrel. Brass is a superior-quality metal, making the whistle deliver a sweet sound, especially when played in the upper range. This Irish whistle is made with a plastic mouthpiece and six holes and plays in the key of "D,” giving it a more rounded and solid tone. Your music journey will be guided by the basic playing instructions, a fingering chart, and the music of several well-known tunes.
