Overview
Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in D Tuning 29 cm Tin Whistle with 6 Holes Narrow Bore Body Made of ABS Resin Black for Irish and Celtic Folk

The Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in D is a six-hole tin whistle for Irish and Celtic folk music. It is the shortest of the offered tunings, measuring 29 cm, making it comfortable to hold even in smaller hands. The body is made of black ABS resin, and the headjoint is stamped with the Susato logo. The six open holes are covered by the pads of fingers without keys. D tuning is the most common among Irish whistles and is frequently found in collections of sheet music for tin whistle.

The designation Small Bore refers to the narrow bore of the tube. The pitch is controlled not only by finger placement but also by the strength of the breath: a softer blow produces the lower octave, while a stronger blow produces the upper octave. With six holes, you can play jigs, reels, polkas, as well as slow melodies of Irish songs, along with folk songs and carols. The whistle has no moving parts, making it easy for players who are inexperienced with wind instruments to learn on.

When playing, hold the whistle in front of you, slightly tilted downwards, with your left hand on top and your right hand below. The upper three holes are covered by the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the left hand, while the lower three are covered by the same fingers of the right hand. When all holes are covered, the fundamental note D sounds, and by gradually lifting fingers from the bottom end, you can play the D major scale. By partially covering a hole or changing finger placement, you can also play additional notes outside the basic scale. The shorter body with smaller hole spacing is especially appreciated by children and players with smaller hands.
