Chords for Twelve different pennywhistle models you can play

For just a few dollars you can get yourself a little whistle, penny whistle, tin whistle,
with six finger holes so it plays in one or two keys and makes a beautiful, beautiful
sound that you'll enjoy for the rest of your life.
I highly recommend getting one of these.
This particular one is in the key of D and most of the ones I'll show you are.
It's the most common key and I recommend that one as well.
I have 12 different ones here that I own myself and I want to play all of them using the Scottish
tune Christmas Day in the Morning to give you an idea of how they vary among what's
available these days.
These are just some samples, there are others.
This one's one of the two different designs that, this one is tapered.
It's not cylindrical but it's actually conical in shape.
It's made by the Clark Company in England, one of the oldest companies.
It's thin metal wrapped around and soldered with a wooden fipple and it has sort of a
rustic woodsy sound.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[N] Clark also makes one that costs a little less.
It has a plastic fipple designed in collaboration with one of the great builders, Michael Copeland.
_ _ [F#] _ _ They make one called the Clark Mag and this one is in the key of C, it's a little bit lower. _ _ _ _
_ The tapered one that is the most expensive among the ones I have is my Shaw and they
make them in many different keys which is one major advantage and it's a different kind
of metal, a little more attention to detail.

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ One advantage of this kind of thin walled one is that you can adjust the windway by
crimping different ways to get different voicings on the sound.
The other design is a cylinder as I mentioned earlier and this is the most common one you'll see.
It's a generation in the key of D.
It looks a little toy like and you can get them in
just about any music store but don't let that fool you, they're played by some of the greatest
groups like the Chieftains of Ireland.
_ _ The _ _ _ _ _ _ generation also makes nickel plated ones.
I like this sound a little bit more personally. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ In the key of C I have an oak, a different company with a similar design _ _ _ _ _ and one in the
key of D from Ireland by the Feodog company.
My sister brought this back from Ireland. _ _
_ _ _ The Waltons company is found in many different places.
This is one of their models called the Mellow D. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ Waltons also makes other varieties.
This is a thin aluminum one called the Little Black Whistle.
_ _ _ [N] _
_ Now in America there's a company called Susato that makes tunable cylindrical whistles and
they have them in just about every key possible and they're a little bit more expensive but
they have lots of, they're very even toned throughout the range. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And last but certainly not least is the one I play the most.
This is available in tunable versions but this particular one isn't.
It's a Chieftain by Phil Hardy of England.
It's made of thicker aluminum and hand crafted and has one of the strongest bird like tones.
So I'm going to play a little more of the tune with this one.
