Tin Whistle
Tin Whistle, also called "Penny Whistle" or "Irish Whistle" is a six-hole, end-blown flute. Versions of the penny whistle are found in many cultures around the world. The Irish version has jumped in popularity since the movie "Titanic". Since many people teach themselves how to play, the Internet has become an important resource for whistlers.
