Clarke Celtic Whistle - Counter Display of 20 Pieces

Easy to learn to play, inexpensive, convenient to carry around, the Celtic Tin Whistle can be available for performances on all occasions. When Robert Clarke invented the Tinwhistle in 1843, little did he know that it would become the perfect wind instrument to be played universally in all the Celtic lands. One cannot hear a slow air played with depth of feeling on a tin whistle by a true Celt without being drawn into, and sharing, the emotions expressed by the player. Each of the Celtic nations has its own instrumental tradition and each claim their right to specific instruments. The Scots will assert that the bagpipes are their national property; the Welsh the harp. The Irish claim the Uillean pipes as their own. One instrument played and adopted by all is the tin whistle. It can be heard in concert halls, broadcasts, churches and above all, especially in Irish pubs.
