Generation whistles are the standard for the traditional Irish musician. They have a plastic mouthpiece and a 2 octave range. This model is made of brass for a breathier, lighter tone. Includes instruction booklet. Made in the UK. The flageolet, perhaps one of the most ancient of musical instruments and often known as the Tin Whistle, is a musical instrument possessing two special qualities: it is the least expensive and the simplest. However, don’t be misled into thinking that it’s barely more than a toy, or that it is inferior or a second rate instrument. On the contrary, despite it’s low cost and easiness for beginners, the tin whistle is a full-blooded musical instrument, capable of music of a quality often unsurpassed by far more eminent instruments.
