Set of 12 Generation Flageolets (Tin Whistles - 6 Keys)

Generation whistles are the standard for the traditional Irish musician. They have a plastic mouthpiece and a 2 octave range. This set of 12 includes 6 keys (Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G) and 2 materials (brass for a breathier, lighter tone and nickel for a clearer, precise tone.) Includes instruction booklet. Made in the UK.

The flageolet, perhaps one of the most ancient of musical instruments and often known as the Tin Whistle, is a musical instrument possessing two special qualities: it is the least expensive and the simplest. However, don't be misled into thinking that it's barely more than a toy, or that it is inferior or a second rate instrument. On the contrary, despite its low cost and easiness for beginners, the tin whistle is a full-blooded musical instrument, capable of music of a quality often unsurpassed by far more eminent instruments.

NOTE: Your set of 12 whistles comes in a compact box, not on a card as shown.
