On the way he stopped by at village markets and made tin whistles to sell, which proved to be very popular among the villagers. The new tin whistle played so well that Robert decided to start a business manufacturing them.Ĭlarke heard that there were big opportunities for manufacturers in Lancashire, so he and his son walked the long distance from Coney Weston to Manchester, pushing his tools and materials in a wheelbarrow. The creation of the tin whistle was inspired when Robert Clarke, a farm labourer, asked a blacksmith to help him to copy the design of his wooden whistle, but crafting it instead from tin plate. The first Clarke tin whistle was invented in 1843 in Coney Weston, a tiny village near Bury St.
Made of steel sheet, with a conical bore and plastic mouthpiece, this lightweight tin whistle is incredibly easy to fill and play and produces a clear, bright tone. The Clarke Sweetone Whistle in D is the perfect starter instrument for any beginner tin whistle player.
