What is the can?

Writing whistle, as Pennywhistles or Irish whistles made of metal, is a six -hole direct tool Woodwind, which is played more like a recorder position than a flute position. Unlike the recorder, there is no thumb opening on the tin whistle and the upper octave is reached by exaggeration. The can of the can is usually held with the left hand above the right hand and with the index, center and ring fingers of the left hand covering the first three holes, while the same fingers on the right hand cover the bottom three holes.

Metal whistle, like all Pennywhistles, can be cone, with an opening that is tapering or cylindrical, with a straight opening. While the "can of whistle" clearly refers to a metal tool with a mouthpiece made of pressed plastic, identical tools in all materials called whistles or pennywhistles or Irish whistles, are made exclusively of wood or plastic. Plastic whistles say they have more stability tone in the face of changing teto the air fence.

A can of whistle may or may not come up with a inch rest, but some companies sell a removable rest of the thumb that can be added. Some tin whistles are tuned, but others are unpredictable and there are one -piece and two -piece models. In addition, some cans with 1 or 2 keys are available than just open holes, making it easier to achieve holes.

Popular keys for cans of cans are low and high d and high C, but there are many other keys. The so -called "low whistles" have their own place in the repertoire. Storage bags for more whistles, other mouthpieces and polishing fabrics are popular accessories.

The whistle is often used to play melodic lines in traditional types of Irish music such as airs, upperpipes, jigs, poles and coils. Ornaments known as "Irish whistle ornament," are popular techniquesplaying.

The famous players of the can include Mary Bergin Feadoga Stain, Cathol McConnell, Willie Clancy, Paddy Moloney, Spillane and Sean Potts. The well -known bands with a can include The Chieftains and The Boys of the Lough.
