The Tin Whistle (sometimes even a PENNYWHISTLE) is a simple and economical. It is simply a metal tube with six finger holes and a mouthpiece (similar to a recorder) has a range of about two octaves. Costs vary from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars - despite playing some of the best players, only the cheaper brands.

The tin whistle is a simple - and it is easy to play and easy to play soft melodies. But - is not easy to master! The instrument cancheap, but you must pay for the championship ... with practice! Haunting melodies boos from the movie "Titanic", shows the deep soul found in this instrument.

This is a common tool of metal (usually brass made) with a tube-shaped nozzle. With the opening of the game (not for each of the six finger holes) and for each finger hole once again, you can play 7 notes in a diatonic (a simple Do-Re-Mi scale - mainly the white keys ) on a scale of piano. Blow a little 'difficult and you get to play the same note but an octave higher. Although it is a diatonic instrument, you can get sharps and flats for more than half of the holes of the fingers.

Since it is essentially open only two notes - one note, then the note an octave higher if you blow - any tin whistle is said to represent a specific key. For example, if you open the tone sounds like a "D", then the tube is like the key of D. Many players wear a small group of tubes arecommonly used buttons.

Some people do not know, you can also optimize a tin whistle! They do this by using the metal barrel of the whistle inside and outside the nozzle. Some tubes have their heads firmly in the adhesive running. Usually you can dissolve the glue that came from the part under running water. Do not use boiling water - this can melt the plastic whistle head!

Key signatures are often in Celtic music, "D Major" and "G major". By default, all of tin areWhistles are an important key (because they play a diatonic scale). However, if you start the scale) are covered with all the finger holes (open instead of all the finger holes, then you get a top step of a diatonic scale - results in a minor key! For example, a tin whistle in "D" in E minor, play when you start clicking on the scales, all the holes for the fingers. Interestingly enough, the chord progression "in E minor" and "D Major" is commonly found in Celtic music. (This isthe same chord progression in "What do you use with a drunken sailor.") A whistle in G Major Do "could easily have played in A minor (A minor and G) is another commonly occurring chord progression.
