My Clarke is dinted now and gold work has faded... I like the wood fipple.. even the smell of it really. I havent tried Oak or Burke but will have to have a look and play of some others, Im currently playing Dirty Old Town... ish and Id like to learn King of the Fairies, I need to do some updates to the Penny whistle videos as only put some up when I was first learning to play... im a little better now.. slightly.
I have a clarke, a generation and an Oak whistle. The Clark seems to take the most wind and has a "breathy" sound. The Oak takes the least wind and the Generation is a close second. For tone, I like the Oak and Generation whistles. The Clarke is very classy looking, but you know what they say about beauty... I also have a Burke D with the C nat thumbhole. VERY stable, very dependable (the notes are always clear, always available). A masterpiece of engineering. :-)
@sariyaa1 A tinwhistle in the key of D plays all notes naturally apart from C & F, which are sharp (#) [sharp means 1/2 note higher, i.e. the black note to the right of a key on piano]. A C tinwhistle plays all notes natural (no sharps). However, with certain fingering you can play in other keys using a whistle tuned to a particular key. (For example a "D" whistle can be played in the key of "G").
@sariyaa1 the key that you can play in. The major (diatonic) scale is Tone Tone Semitone Tone Tone Tone Semitone so while in C major you have C D E F G A B C in D major you'd have D E F# G A B C# D to keep the same interval (of 2 halfnotes for a tone and 1 halfnote for a semitone). Basically that means you'll be playing most song with a 1 tone higher than on a C. So it really only depends on the sound you like better (IMO) I definetly prefer D whistles' sound.
