Andrea Corr of The Corrs Playing a Feadóg

Feadóg Irish Whistles in the key of C feature wider bores than their key of D siblings. Their nice deep tone can be attributed to both the key that they are in ("lower" keys always tend to sound more mellow) and their wider bore; a really nice alternative to your D whistle when you either need to play specifically in the keys of C or F (just as a D whistle plays best in D and G) or when you simply want a mellower sound.

The tone of Feadóg whistles could be described as “classic tin whistle”; in the same family of sound as say Generations and Oaks though unique.  It takes only a small amount of air to play these whistles.  As such, they are not loud but more on the quiet side.  They also have a bit of chiff, finishing of the otherwise pure tone with a slight edge.

About Feadóg

Feadóg Teoranta (Irish for "Whistles Ltd.") was founded in Dublin in 1978 with the aim of producing a high quality, traditional Irish whistle that was actually made in Ireland and was affordable to anyone who wanted to play music. Since then, they have stuck firmly to that principle and the company has gone from strength to strength.
