More about our whistles...

Our highly engineered whistles feature a number of innovations that add up to create a truly excellent instrument. The whistles are easy to play, with a bright and responsive sound that professional musicians prefer. We ship our pennywhistles all around the world!

Here are some of the important features:

  • All models feature a curved wind-way which contributes to a rich, bright sound and easy overblowing into the second octave.
  • Different bore sizes allow for the choice of a softer or louder instrument in the same key.
  • Our new Susato Keys make longer, lower voiced whistles playable by smaller hands without undue stretch and hand fatigue.
  • Oval tone holes are used where those are easier to cover than round holes.
  • Two piece models with separate head and body sections.
    • Customers can purchase whistle sets more economically when choosing one head section and multiple bodies.
    • Two piece models make transport of longer, lower pitched whistles easier.
    • Two piece models allow pitch adjustment by pulling the joint in or out.
  • ABS plastic construction with quality features:
    • Unlike metal whistles, ABS does not conduct heat as fast as metal and maintains more stable pitch when air temperature changes.
    • ABS Is highly durable and impervious to moisture.
    • Serrated joints retain joint grease much longer (on Kildare models).
    • A rubber -O- ring assures an airtight seal at the joint.
  • The adjustable "Snappy" thumbrest contributes to secure, comfortable playing and prevents the instrument from rolling off the table.
  • Each whistle is hand assembled and tested by our staff to play at standard pitch.
  • All production is in our Brasstown, North Carolina shop.
