Kildare Penny Whistle in High D by Susato - S-Series

Kildare models in high -Eb- and high -D- exist in the -V- and the -S- series. If in doubt, we recommend the -S- series as the richer and fuller sounding version. The -V- series -Eb- and -D- have a slightly smaller body diameter and therefore sound softer.

All Kildare models have separate head and body sections with a slightly tapered bore. Pitch can easily be adjusted by pulling jointed sections in or out as needed. Unlike chromatic Recorders, Pennywhistles are diatonic instruments, requiring many sizes to make playing in all keys (tonalities) possible.

The most popular sizes used are in the keys of high -D- and low -G-. Whistle body sections of the same series are interchangeable with a head section of the same series. 

Kildare two-piece models include a fingering chart, thumbrest, joint grease, and a pouch. All whistles above are available in black or rosewood brown.
