In the picture you can see my Irish Whistle, an instrument that someone gave me after a trip to Ireland.
The Whistle (whistling) is a typical instrument of Ireland and Celtic music.
Although it has its origin 5000 years, is in the nineteenth century when developing the current Whistle, also known by other names such as Tin Whistle, Irish Flute, flageolet, etc..
is built of wood or metal and usually has a plastic mouthpiece.
The Whistle has 6 holes and, having no hole in the back of the instrument to make sounds in the second octave is necessary to vary the air pressure.
My Irish Whistle is tuned in D and I can hear in the video below:
