Overview
Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in B (Bb) Tuning 37 cm Tin Whistle with 6 Holes ABS Resin Body Black for Irish Folk Music

The Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in B (Bb) is a six-hole tin whistle for Irish, Scottish, and Celtic folk music. Among the available tunings, it is the longest, measuring 37 cm. The body is made from black ABS resin and features the embossed name Susato on the head. Six open holes are covered with the pads of the fingers without keys, so the fingerings correspond to other Irish whistles. Due to the longer body, the spacing between the holes is greater than that of shorter whistles in C or D tuning.

The designation Small Bore refers to the narrow bore of the tube. The B tuning whistle is suitable for players who want to add a deeper instrument to their collection or need to play melodies in a different key than a standard D whistle. Like other penny whistles, the pitch is controlled by the strength of the breath: a softer blow produces the lower octave, while a stronger blow produces the upper octave. The whistle has no moving parts or keys, making it easy to handle even without prior experience with wind instruments.

When playing, hold the whistle in front of you, slightly tilted downwards, with your left hand on top and your right hand below. The top three holes are covered by the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the left hand, while the bottom three are covered by the same fingers of the right hand. When all holes are covered, the fundamental note B sounds, and by gradually lifting the fingers from the bottom end, you play the scale upwards. By partially covering a hole or changing the fingering, additional notes outside the basic scale can be played. On a longer instrument, you need to spread your fingers a bit more, so it is advisable to first try simple slow melodies.
