The modern Irish flute emerged in the middle of the 19th century with its mass production by Robert Clarke in Manchester. With a different fingering system than the continental European one, the Irish flute also has six holes, diatonic tuning and is available in several keys.
The tinwhistle was invented by Robert Clarke, an agricultural worker who decided to make a tin whistle to replace his traditional wooden one. The sound result was so good that Clarke decided to dedicate himself to its manufacture.
These instruments became so popular that Clarke went from traveling salesman to owning a factory in a shed in Manchester and becoming a successful businessman. The instruments were affordable and quickly became a staple of traditional Irish music.
The Clarke Sweetone is a modern flute with the sound that lovers of Celtic-inspired folk know so well, very affordable both in terms of learning and price, perfect for both children and adults.
