Description
In 1843 Robert Clarke invented the tinwhistle. The first ones that he manufactured were called MEGS.
Meg is the Victorian word for a halfpenny and that is precisely what Robert's tinwhistle cost to buy. In making such an inexpensive real musical instrument, Robert brought affordable music to the masses and, in no time, his instruments were becoming available worldwide.
Now in a way, the Clarke Company is making History repeat itself. We have started manufacturing a new tinwhistle that we have called the Meg.
Our aim has been, once again, to bring affordable music to the masses.
The tonal characteristics, although slightly different from those of the Sweetone, still achieve the feel and quality of that famous Clarke sound.
