What kind of musical instrument is this? What flute?

The whistle originated from the bone flute in China and was introduced to Europe in 1 1 century. /kloc-in the 0 th and 5 th centuries, there were records about the royal bagpiper in the Irish court. The whistle has six holes, commonly known as the six-hole whistle. /kloc-On the first page of the 0/9th century, a man named Clark opened a whistle factory in Manchester, which was the first time that whistles appeared in the form of workshop production. Whistles are usually made of metal or wood. A whistle made of tin is called a tin whistle, and the mouthpiece is made of plastic or sawdust. This kind of whistle is widely used in Irish traditional music, so it is also called Irish whistle. (irishwhistle) In the British Isles, many street performers used their whistles to play a tune, and the asking price was 65,438+0p, so whistles were also called penny whistles.

Classification and characteristics of whistle

Joanne Madden

The traditional Clark whistle is wrapped in a roll of iron and then made into a whistle mouth with a cork. The timbre is hoarse, which is very different from the thrush we heard from Joanie Madden. Because of the structural characteristics, the traditional flute leaks air, which is very gas-consuming to blow. But some people love this special and vicissitudes timbre, so many masters also play Clark flute. The most common thing now is the metal whistle. Modern whistles can be divided into several pitches, treble whistles, bass whistles, and some people have the saying of alto whistles. The treble whistle is the whistle that everyone hears most often. Its tone is clear and clear, like the song of a bird. If it is used to play fast traditional dance music (jig), it has a fascinating charm. Of course, I prefer to compare the high-pitched whistle to the voice of a child. The little boy is full of energy and carefree. Of course, Joanie's Thrushcross album is an exception. Her slow music focuses on showing a kind of persistence and letting the world know that the high-pitched whistle can also perfectly interpret sad music. The famous whistle prelude Gucci Lian of Titanic and the pastoral tune at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings all use high-pitched whistle. The sound of a bass whistle is somewhat similar to that of a flute. It looks much longer. It's worse to waste gasoline than a high-pitched whistle. I personally like bass whistles very much. Its timbre is warm, quiet and vicissitudes. Full of wisdom and thinking, like a serene old man humming, it is completely different from the lively and clear timbre with a slightly lower treble. You can hear the shadow of the bass whistle in the soundtrack of Braveheart (of course, Braveheart is dominated by bagpipes). Then there is the alto whistle, Clark's "Meg" tin flute series.

Following the continuous production of the famous Clark tin flute in 165, Clark Company now produces a new type of tin flute-"Meige" tin flute. "Meg" is a Victorian word meaning "half a penny". This happens to be the price of Robert's tin flute. By mass-producing this cheap musical instrument, Robert pushed it to people who could afford music. Soon, his musical instruments spread all over the world. We decided to name the latest tin flute "Meg". From beginning to end, Clark Company has been writing its own music stories with this idea. Once again, our goal is to promote Clark Voice's famous "Meg" to those who can afford it. It still has an ancient texture and taste. C and d series! The other is Clark's original tin flute.
