An assortment of tin whistles
The
Tin Whistle is a six holed end-blown flute which originated in the
British Isles. It is also called the Irish Whistle or Penny Whistle. Many tin whistles cost only a few dollars, making them excellent first instruments for children.
J. C. Squire once wrote:
Now I am a tin whistle
Through which God blows,
And I wish to God I were a trumpet
—But why, God only knows.
