Information on Playing the PennyWhistle

The Clarke Tinwhistle, like other tinwhistles, has its own unique fingering. It should not be confused with the fingering of a recorder.
When covering a hole the pads of the fingers should be used, not the tips. (The pad is the area about midway between the tip and the first joint.) The fingers should be held flat. Do not arch or curve them. Do not allow air to escape from under the fingers as that will cause squeaks, poor pitch and tone.

Ages 5 years and older.

This is a solid toy pennywhistle at a good price. It's pretty annoying when played for 30 minutes nonstop, but I guess any whistle is. :) I've been able to show my daughter the basics of playing a melody, so with some practice I think she'll master this!
