The Pennywhistle

The Penny Whistle came to America with the first European Settlers and would later rock America with the River Dance phenomenon and the musical themes to Bravehart, Titanic and the Lord of the Rings. Easy to play, Just Blow!


Some thoughts on the Irish Pennywhistle
The first Whistle on video is a bamboo Whistle in A, the second is in C.
Above Erik plays his D Pennywhislte in Concert.

Cleaning and oiling your Pennywhistle
In general when I play and my whistle head gets too moist to sound good, I blow hard into the air splitter channel to clear it.
The head joint can be cleaned with alcohol and a napkin or soap and water. I hardly ever do this. But you might want to if you or someone else was sick and played it.
When I want to see my flute shine outside or have its rich color return, I oil it with mineral oil which I buy in a pharmacy. I have even put a drop of oil on the abs  resin mouthpiece to shine it up. Then dry it. If you want to oil it inside, make sure you don’t have a stick with a cloth that is too big because it will get stuck inside since the bore is only ½ inch wide.

Hi! I've had my wood Irish D whistle for about a year and I love it. Just wanted to thank you for such a beautiful instrument--I love it more than any other whistle I've bought. I'd been looking for one that was perfect for me and now I have it! Thanks!

Hi Erik,
Thank you for shipping my order so promptly! The Pennywhistle is fantastic and I am so enthusiastic about it.
By the way Erik: I really love your Videos! You have a great sense of humour, you brightened my day, when I was watching them!!!
All the best from Sweden!

I just wanted to thank you for the Celtic design penny whistle I purchased
from you. The instrument is beautiful. The sound is amazing and precise.
Much louder than my other whistles and much more forgiving. I have several
whistles; Generation, Feado'g, Cooperman persimmon, and a Waltons all in d.
Your whistle is now my favorite. I will order another in the future.
Thank you, Jason E Duffy in East Bethany N.Y. October 2009

Hi Erik,
Pennywhistle from you arrived yesterday. Sound is amazing, so I want to thank you very much. :)

Hi Erik!
The Penny-Whistle Just arrived and I want to thank you so much! First of all it looks so beautiful!
But, most important, it has such a beautiful, soft sound, while being the most precise whistle I have ever played. Even Fast Irish Reels
are easy to play with it. It is so much better than Feadog, Generation and even Mollenhauer!
Thank you once again,
Lennard in Germany

Hello Erik,  I've gotta tell you I love your instruments. My grandparents bought me one of your penny whistles for my birthday and
I love everything about it. It has such a nice tone to it, and I love the smoked wood smell that it gives off when you play it. I've started
a Celtic/folk band with one of my friends thanks to your wonderful instrument.Thank you so much for your amazing craftmanship.
God bless! Bryn Martin, Winchester VA. February 20, 2007

Dear Erik,Your flutes are wonderful!
When I encountered your booth at the 2005 Texas Renaissance Festival and
bought a pennywhistle in C I felt like I got a part of my old musical self
back. At the same festival in 2006 I bought a pennywhistle in Bb harmonic
minor and a Kiowa Love Flute and am immensely pleased with the quality of
your work. Being able to make music on the instruments that I've bought from
you has given my soul back some of the light that I lost when my hands gave
out on me and my dreams to play professionally were crushed, so I cannot
thank you enough for doing what you do. I look forward to buying more of
your flutes in the future! Thank you and God bless. Stevie Carter,

Dear Erik,
My pennywhistle arrived a week ago and I am absolutely speechless. I have fallen in love with it and I am having fun with it everyday.
It is such a great work, and now I am gaining back my melodious touch that I had lost for 10 years since I somehow stopped playing recorder.
I could not be happier.
I am positive I will get another instrument from you very soon.
Thank you.

Erik, I have had one of your pennywhistles in C for about a week and am totally delighted. What a sweet sounding little thing! I can't
seem to put it down for long. I find myself playing it during TV commercials or even while waiting for web pages to load. One of the
buildings I work in is a very large warehouse with metal walls. I get the most incredible sound when playing there. I've had several
people ask me where I found such a pretty song maker. Hopefully, a few of them have already contacted you to get one of their very own.
I want to thank you so much for calling and playing both the regular and concert tuned whistles for me over the phone. I was trying to be
frugal but decided the mere pittance for the difference in sound was worth it. You've made my days a little brighter.
May the good Lord watch over you.

Dear Erik, I got my Starry Night PennyWhistle in the mail today! What a treat! I was so excited i felt like a little kid on christmas morning!
The craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite and i love that smokey bamboo smell! Thank you so much for being so kind and patient with
me over the phone I really do appreciate that. God has truly bless you with a special talent and we are so fortunate that you choose to
share it with us. I pray that you continue to receive blessings, good health and prosperity. I definitely will be ordering more flutes from you very soon!
Music makes life a symphony when God is the conductor~
Peace be with you, God Bless!

Thanks for the Penny Whistle. I don't think i ever wrote to tell you how much I have enjoyed it. It is so easy to play, and has such a sweet
sound. I have several inexpensive whistles: Clarks, Feadog, Sweetone, Walton etc.. I even have a whistle from Michael Burke. None of them
play like this one. It has become my favorite. It goes with me in my briefcase everywhere. Thanks again. Another superb instrument from Erik.

Erik-Hi! The penny-whistle looks and sounds so beautiful! I don't know how else to explain this other than this is the sound that God has
written in my heart ever
since I can remember. Playing this beautiful instrument has awakened a new joy in my heart!!!

Dear Erik,
I just got your Penny Whistle, it was outside in the box hidden by the snow that had fallen from my roof. It sounds great! Plays very easy and
much better than my metal Generation one. Thanks for doing such a good job. I will hopefully order from you again.

Thanks, Erik -- received the two pennywhistles today. Love the decorative work on both. And these sound far superior and are much easier
to play than any of the factory-made whistles I've played before.

Dear Erik, 
You are a great flute maker, and player and I have purchased a penny whistle from you and it has absolutely brought me endless joy, it is wonderful.  The Penny whistle has received vast complements from fellow flutists and they say it has a very harmonious and rich sound.
God Bless you and your family
