Walton's Irish WhistleKey of D - Brass
This is a Walton's Whistle - made in Dublin, Ireland. It is tuned to the key of "D" - this is the most popular key for traditional Irish music. It's made of brushed brass and has a plastic fipple (mouthpiece). The plastic mouthpiece has become accepted and even preferred by most traditional players, due to the consistency of sound that they produce. There is a difference between this whistle and the Walton's Mellow D, although the difference is slight. The Mellow D has a slightly wider bore (the inside diameter of the whistle). This gives the Irish Whistle a brighter tone that's well suited for jigs, reels, etc.
It is played very easily in the entire two octave range, and has a pleasant, bright tone. Note that the mouthpiece on this whistle is not glued on, so it is tunable, to match pitch with other instruments or recordings.
Don't forget to order a Whistle Pouch for your whistle!
