Overview
Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in E (Eb) Penny Whistle with 6 Holes Narrow Bore ABS Resin Body Black for Folk Music

The Susato Small Bore Irish Whistle in E (Eb) is a six-hole penny whistle suitable for Irish, Scottish, and Celtic folk music. The body is made of ABS resin in black, and the headjoint is stamped with the Susato name. The six open holes are covered by the pads of the fingers without keys or complex mechanisms. The fingerings are the same as for other Irish whistles, so melodies learned on the D whistle can be played with the same fingerings a semitone higher. This is useful when playing with instruments or singers who prefer the key of E.

The designation Small Bore refers to the narrow bore of the tube. The pitch is controlled not only by the fingerings but also by the strength of the breath: a softer blow produces the lower octave, while a stronger blow produces the upper octave. Thus, the six holes can be used to play Irish dances, slow melodies, and folk songs. 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 slightly angled downwards in front of you, 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 E sounds, and by gradually lifting the fingers from the bottom end, you play the E major scale. By partially covering a hole or changing fingerings, additional notes outside the basic scale can be played. Those who already know how to play the D whistle can continue on this instrument without learning new fingerings.
