A true traditional tin whistle

Daniel Amaro, 14.11.2013

I was quite impressed by the quality of the presentation of the set. The book and the box are printed with old style pictures, letters and graphic elements that fits the classic style of the tin whistle, making this a good collectors item.
The book takes the learner from A to Z, covering such basics as fingering and score reading to the more advanced irish music ornamentation techniques.
As a person with great historical sensibility I was very happy to found in this book some small historical explanations and anecdotes, confirming this music instrument as collectors item.
The tin whistle look like it was made with the same techniques as the very first ones: plastic is absent, wood is present. In the back of the tin whistle you can see and feel the line where the two parts of the tin sheet came together... so it's not made from a already blank tube.
At first, the sound of the tin whistle disappointed me a little bit, because I was expecting a nowadays typical cleaner sound. The notes come out clear and in tune but it's sound a little bit breathy.... that is... you can listen the wind coming out. NOW I just love the sound and it seems that this breathy sound only adds to the overall tone of this instrument. I true belief that it's sounds like the very first one and the music seems more organic and natural. Good job Clarke.

Book helpful, whistle high air consumption

grimmels, 17.05.2017

I have been playing Hümmelchen for some time and now and then also recorder songs. Years ago, I also bought a Clark Sweettone Whistle but never played it seriously.
For the last order, I curiously packed this set into my shopping cart.

book
The book is written in a simple English. For the most part I was able to skip the notes and rhythm parts. (In my opinion, however, should also be sufficiently explanatory for beginners.) With each new tone, the fingering is shown and a little exercise or a song. That makes sense and you can progress quickly.
I just listened to the CD for the book. Interweise has just the song that interests me not working! Although there were no scratches on the CD.
Otherwise, it seems pretty helpful for beginners. Rhytms are first sung, then played.
In the back there is still a good song collection

Whistle
The flute has a nice "smoky" sound. That means you hear a lot of air and it does not sound so sterile.
However, this, as I later noted in comparison with other whistles, requires a lot of air consumption.
I was able to play a Feadog Whislte with a plastic mouthpiece that took much less air and was easier to overblow.

Conclusion
The book provides a good base for beginners and players with little prior knowledge. The flute sounds nice, but is (for me) more difficult to play than a whistle with plastic mouthpiece.
Maybe just order a cheap sweettone, then you have 2 flutes for a little money for comparison.
