The Clarke Tinwhistle consists of a sheet of tin-plate, a piece of wood and a small quantity of solder. But that, of course is not the whole story. In 1843 the young farm labourer, Robert Clarke, put the ingredients together in a very special way that produced a small miracle. And that is how the Clarke Tinwhistle is produced today. The instrument is still made of tin-plate with a wooden plug in the mouthpiece. Delicate operations still continue to be done by hand and, most importantly, Robert Clarke's traditional conical bore has been retained to give the instrument its unique sound.
