Pennywhistle D- Major : Fancy-looking pipe with a soft tone

11 years ago

This tin whistle is quieter than the Clarke Sweetone. Its tone is soft and airy, and it lacks the high-end crisp of the Sweetones -- this is nice especially for playing airs and slower reels, but I'm not sure if the sound would cut through when playing with a band.

The whistle has an "old-school" wooden fipple, which I found slightly harder to make a sound with than the standard plastic fipples.

Finally, I must say that this pipe looks very pretty, so it is also a nice piece of decoration!
