General
Made from brass and tuned in Bb, the Generation Flageolet 6578 tin whistle is the longest and lowest tuned member of the range and bears a distinctly warm and traditional tone. Also known as penny whistles, since they were so affordable and cheap to produce, this humble whistle is played by professionals as well as student musicians.
The Generation Flageolet Bb Brass Tin Whistle
While the penny whistle plays a big role in traditional Scottish, Irish, and Celtic folk, it's also found a place in a vast array of different genres. These simple flutes were originally finished with six finger holes so that the major scale could be played with ease, and in this case, both the Bb and Eb scales can be played. In practice, the Flageolet 6578 tin whistle can play every note and in every key, but for beginners it may be easier to simply swap whistles with different tunings. Also, while this whistle delivers the warm sound of a brass body, there are also versions that have the bright and clear sound of a nickel body.
Tips or comments about this product- The image shows the D version, which is shorter, but looks the same in all other regards.
- There are also tin whistles available in nickel, and in six different tunings (from low to high: Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G), D being the most popular.

De stemming is af fabriek in orde en de bijgeluiden dat je krijgt doen al een beetje aan een low-whistle denken.
Deze moet je eigenlijk wel halen als whistle speler.

Komen mooie warme klanken uit en voor die prijs is het een aanrader om mee te oefenen als je nog niet goed kan spelen.

Het geluid vind ik erg mooi, vooral de lage tonen zijn vol en rond van klank. Verder is het voor mij erg wennen. Doordat de fluit groter is zitten de gaten wat verder van elkaar af wat toch weer oefening vergt om de fluit onder de knie te krijgen.
Mijn tip is om vooral met kleine handen hier wel rekening mee te houden en je waarschijnlijk net als ik daarin zult moeten oefenen. Verder een mooie fluit die gezien de prijs - kwaliteit verhouding zeker de moeite waard is om aan te schaffen.
