## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes yhis a limited edition?**
A: I don't think it is. I didn't see any of that when I bought mine in 2019.
It could have changed for 2020, though.

**Q: Is this a solid or seamed tube?**
A: The metal is rolled and there is a soldered seam in the back.

**Q: Are there holes for your thumbs?**
A: No, there is no hole in back for your thumb. Tinwhistles/pennywhistles have 6 holes in contrast to recorders which have 8 holes (including one in back for the thumb).

**Q: Is there a photo of the black. I only see the black and gold image**
A: This listing is for the Black/ with gold diamond Clarke Original whistle in D. They made an all black one for a short period of time, but it was discontinued several years ago.

There is a wooden piece inside which makes it difficult to sanitize or clean

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality as good as I hoped.
*by D***N on 25 February 2023*

As advertised. Would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice mellow sound, taper design doesn't require varying air pressure. Headpiece a bit uncomfortable
*by J***H on 5 September 2024*

This review will be in comparing this whistle to: Clarke Celtic, Feadog pro, Feadog, Generation, Sondern whistles. First, The Clarke whistles are tapered, the others I have are not. What I have discovered this means is that in order to get a good sound in lower registers, you have to blow a little harder though the Sondern whistles are very tolerant, the Clarke whistles will make a good tone quality with constant blowing pressure. I believe this has something to do with the tapered design. My straight tube whistles require more air for higher tones. The feel of the whistle is nice. Though it is metal, it is a bit textured so the whistle doesn't slide around so it is easy to keep your fingers in the same position. The whistle isn't nearly as loud as brass or nickel. Not sure if it is the paint, the taper, or because of the piece of wood in the head, but it has a softer woody type sound, so for tunes calling for a softer, rich tone, this is my go-to in the key of D. The wood piece mentioned...one of the things I do not like about this whistle is the feel of the piece of wood against my lip, at first it was rough...after playing it a bit, the wood wore down some (along with my lip at first) The wood does absorb some moisture which helps prevent condensation buildup in the fipple, but it does reach a saturation point where the wood swells a little and then it doesn't play right until you let the wood dry out. The headpiece does not feel good on the lips, but. that piece of wood that is uncomfortable also I think is responsible for several pros. The wood piece is cut at an angle and is directly in line beneath the fipple...having taken physics classes on sound. I know that what this does is it causes the acoustic length of the whistle to match the actual length. What this means...is that when you go from the first to the second octave, there is not a cavity of pressurized air in the hollow whistle head that causes a crazed sound during the transition. So...all that science talk just to say that you do not need to 'tweek' this whistle with a piece of tack to soften the sound, it has a soft sound with nice smooth octave shift out of the box. Recap, when just learning a song I use this whistle because the tapered design will let me hit notes while blowing softly, and it is not overly loud, also the second octave has a softer tone and is not screechy and I think this is because of the wood piece and the paint. Con...I don't like the feel of the headpiece and when the wood gets too moist, it has to be dried before it can be played...takes a good hour or so to reach this point, but you'll know it when it happens.
