The new “Resonance” Model Pennywhistle finally combines traditional whistling with that classic, wooden-flute tone that’s rich in harmonics. For the best performance, it has a conical bore and undercut finger holes. The windway is curved to reduce clogging; the laminated block is weatherproof. Holes #3 and #6 are offset to shorten the reach and make this whistle more comfortable to hold than most other whistles. A=440, great intonation with good resonance to low D, while being gentle and clear in the 2nd register. Medium-sized holes, laser engraving, internal cork at the joint, and adjustable thumb rest. Two years in the making, designed by Walt Sweet.

Perfect for Irish Music. Suitable for beginner and expert alike.

Available in color-matched laminated wood. Has a beautiful, long-lasting, low-maintenance finish (like its little brother, the Professional Model Pennywhistle in High D).

In the future, we plan to offer a “Sideblowing Adaptor”: Made of PVC, it slips on/off the end of the whistle head so you can play the instrument while holding it as a flute. This position shortens the effective reach for even greater comfort.

Left-hand or zero-offset fingerholes are available on special order.
