Standard key of high D.
Generation whistles are made in England. They have a 2-octave range. They have plastic fipple (mouthpiece). The plastic fipple has become accepted by traditional whistle players over the years, because of the consistency of sound compared to a wooden fipple (wood can change tone when wet...). They have a cylindrical straight bore, requires little air. The mouthpieces can be loosened to make them tunable. These whistles have undergone a major redesign by Brian Howard and play better than ever. You will hear these whistles on 1000's of traditional Irish recordings.

Just received my latest order from the good folks at Lark in the Morning! This time I selected one of the Tabor whistles, which for me is a completely new foray into historical instruments. With only three holes (two in front, one in the back), it is designed to be played along with a small drum and, according to Wikipedia, has its origins as early as the 13th century. Until I gain the breath control to range through the octaves, I will happily play simple jigs and tunes such as "The Three-Legged Pig," "Dancing to Taxes," and the ever popular "Annoying the Neighbors!" In all seriousness, this is another wonderfully affordable instrument from Lark in the Morning and was delivered with the usual awesome customer service and fast shipping! As a long-time Lark customer, I absolutely love the variety of instruments and especially love that there are these great introductary models that allow me to explore new musical outlets!!
Every thing is good.

Beautiful amazing instrument! Easy and fun to play! Highly recommended! Great customer service and fast shipping!!
Jackie arrived, nicely packed and in rapid order... much lighter than I expected, thank goodness as the instrument is attached to the player by their thumbs (and mine are kind of old).
I never thought that it would be so challenging for me to learn play ... so different from anything I've tried before... I can feel the neurons in my brain sparking and protesting. Actually, it feels good to build new pathways. The cat is none too pleased with my new endeavor. However, Jackie is a beautiful instrument, well made and of good quality. I'm sure, in time, we'll become the best of friends.
Thanks to all at Lark in the Morning for making my experience so pleasant and trouble free. <3
The external Twin Spot works great on my Irish Bouzouki. I've scotched taped the pickup heads and wires it in place for easy adjustment, and the pick up sensitivity is very good. I'm running it through my guitar DI box for increased sensitivity and tone control.
I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
