Played in British Isles and North America. Closely related to the Hungarian cymbalom, German/Swiss hackbrett, Iraqi and Iranian santir (probably the origin of all of these), Indian santoor, Korean yangum and Chinese yang qin.

TAPERED TIN WHISTLES

Wind Instruments > High Whistles> Tapered Tin Whistles
Whistles made out of a rolled up and soldered sheet of metal, with a wooden plug tend to sound very breathy. This type of whistle offers a different range of sounds to the other methods of construction. Conical bore instruments tend to have a more focussed sound.
