Walton's Irish Whistle
Key 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.
(Label will occasionally vary from the
image shown above)
(Sometimes the mouthpiece of this whistle will be a color other than green)
