For my final year project I am trying to design a case that is specifically for Uilleann Pipes, hopefully addressing many of the issues that exist with the generic solutions that are usually used. I am a final year student in the University of Limerick (Ireland), studying Product Design. I have this post on another forum as well, but need as much coverage as possible. There are now over 70 penny whistle makers worldwide! The high whistle has gone from being made by a handful of makers in the 1970s to over 60 today.Hi, I hope it is OK to post this here. Low whistles due partly to the success of river dance and the titanic theme tune, my heart will go on.
The popularity of both high and low tin whistles have increased massively in recent years. Brian Howard making the first brass low whistle, using modern production techniques a few years later. The modern low whistle is most directly related to a victorian vertical flute, it was first made by Bernard Overton in the early 1970s. The first high whistle was made in Suffolk by Clark in 1780. It is a type of fipple flute similar to an Irish Flute but with a fipple instead of a simple opening, so related to the recorder, Flabiol, Txistu and tabor pipe. The breath is transformed to sound and thus music in a most elegant way. The whistle has had many names in its lifetime, penny whistle, tin whistle, Irish whistle, flageolet, low whistle, high whistle, Belfast hornpipe, feadóg stáin. Flutes made from bird bone and mammoth ivory, estimated to be between 40,000 and 80,000 years old, have been found. The humble tin whistle is a direct descendent of the oldest instrument known to man.
