The favourite music instrument of distinguished tinwhistle players ever since 1843, this Clarke Tinwhistle can be considered the Stradivarius of tinwhistles.

In the time of Queen Victoria there was a huge repertoire of Singing Games which little children sang and played in their playgrounds or in the streets.

After 150 years of continuous production of the famous Clarke Tinwhistle, in 1996 the company produced a brand new type of tinwhistle, the SWEETONE.

One cannot hear a slow air played with depth of feeling on a Tinwhistle by a true Celt without being drawn into, and sharing, the emotions expressed by the player.

In 1843 Robert Clarke invented the Tinwhistle. The first ones that he manufactured were called Megs.
Meg is the Victorian word for a halfpenny and that is precisely what Robert’s Tinwhistle cost to buy.

When Robert Clarke invented his Tinwhistle in 1843, little did he know that his humble little instrument was destined to become just about the most popular player of tunes in the whole Folk Music World.
