#instrumentoftheday #tinwistle In the same year #charlesdickens classic A Christmas Carol was published, another fantastic piece of history was conceived by a young #RobertClarke in 1843. His invention, the modern day tin whistle, was made using a small piece of wood, some solder, and a tinplate in a small, humble village in #Suffolk, #England. Unbeknownst to Clarke, an uneducated but hard-working family man, the #instrument he created would eventually become the staple of a very popular musical genre. As mentioned, the tin whistle has become indistinguishable from #Celtic #music and is a beloved instrument of Celtic musicians and fans alike. #history #musiceducation #music #history #education #musichistory #rhythmnnews #rhythmnnews_edu https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOxFh7BGGp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9fbjcvxvut16
