Overview
Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in C 33 cm Penny Whistle with 6 Open Holes ABS Resin Body Black for Beginners

The Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in C is a six-holed penny whistle for beginners as well as players of Irish and Celtic folk music. It measures 33 cm, making it slightly longer than the D whistle and shorter than the B whistle. The body is made of black ABS resin and features the Susato logo embossed on the head. The six open holes are covered directly by the fingers, without keys and without complex mechanisms. The fingerings are the same as those of other Irish whistles, allowing you to play learned melodies on different tunings.

Tuning in C is particularly popular among beginner players, as the basic scale is played by progressively uncovering the holes from the bottom end. The designation Small Bore refers to the narrow bore of the tube. The pitch is controlled not only by fingering but also by the strength of the breath: gentle blowing produces the lower octave, while stronger blowing produces the upper octave. This allows for a range of over two octaves and the ability to play melodies from folk songs, carols, and simple compositions.

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 C sounds, and by progressively lifting fingers from the bottom end, you play the C major scale. By partially covering a hole or changing fingering, other notes outside the basic scale can also be played. It is advisable to start with short songs that have a small range and gradually add faster pieces.
