Walton's Irish Whistle
Key of D - Brass
or Nickel
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.
The Brass Irish D whistle is pictured on this
page. Also available is the Nickel version (Nickel plating protects the whistle
and gives it a very nice chrome look)
(Label will occasionally vary from the
image shown above)
(Sometimes the mouthpiece of this whistle will be a color other than green)
