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.

I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!
