SUSATO PENNYWHISTLE INFORMATION

 
 
35 whistles in 18 different keys!!

Kildare Whistle Models  - The most popular pennywhistle for session use.   There are 22 Kildare models and each have seperate head and body sections with a slightly tapered bore. They can be fine-tuned by pulling the joint in or out. Pulling the joint out makes the whistle tone flatter and pushing the head in makes it sharper.  Each Kildare whistle includes a fingering chart, thumbrest, joint grease and a vinyl carrying case. 

Dublin Whistle Models
- Dublin models have a cylindrical bore and are lower in price than the tapered bore Kildare models. Each Dublin whistle purchase includes a fingering chart and thumbrest.  Dublin models are one piece with the exception of the Tenor sizes (L-Series);  these have two pieces for tuning and have 1 key on the lowest tone hole to reduce the hand stretch.


      

                                                                                                                       Dublin Tenor L-Series  (D, Eb, E, F - 1 key)

10 features of Susato Whistles 

1.  Curved wind-way: this produces a rich, bright sound and makes for easy overblowing into the second octave.

2.  Different bore sizes:  for the choice of a softer or louder whistle in the same key.

3.  New Susato Keys:  low whistles are now easier to play - reduce the stretch and play with a more relaxed hand! 

4.  Oval tone holes:  easier to cover than round holes.

5.  Two piece models with separate head and body sections:

  • makes whistle sets more economical -  choose one head section and multiple bodies.
  • make longer, low pitched whistles easier to store and carry.
  • whistles are tuneable - pull out to flatten, push in to sharpen.

6.  ABS plastic construction with quality features:

  • ABS does not conduct heat as fast as metal and maintains more stable pitch in temperature changes.
  • ABS is extremely durable, stable,  and impervious to moisture.
  • Serrated joints retain joint grease much longer (on Kildare models).
  • A rubber -O- ring ensures an airtight seal at the joint.

7.  "Snappy" thumbrest: adjustable, helps make playing more comfortable,  and prevents rolling off the table.

8.  Hand assembled: each instrument is tested by Susato staff to play at standard pitch.

9.  Fingercharts:  each whistle comes with a fingerchart and cork grease.  (Kildare models also include vinyl case) 

10. Made in the USA:  All instruments are designed, crafted, and tested in North Carolina, USA

  

Susato pennywhistles are highly engineered, easy to play, easy to overblow, and have a bright. rich, and responsive sound. 

They are enjoyed by beginners and professionals alike!  If you are new to pennywhistle playing;  start with a high D, the most common key -

you will have so much fun ....... you will soon have a collection....of Susato's....Dixon's....Sweet's.....West Coast.......etc.!!
