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.
