The Tui is a handcrafted penny whistle in the key of G major. It is an alto whistle, lower than D whistles like the Clarke or Feadog.

These whistles are tough, made from PVC. They feature:

• A small bell/horn which helps improve the volume of the lower notes of each octave compared to the higher ones.
• A curved lip against which the air is directed like a classical flute, rather than a straight one, giving a distinctive mellow and slightly 'breathy' tone.
• Carefully hand tuned to concert pitch A=440Hz, within the limits of variable air temperature and how hard you blow.
• A very comfortable mouthpiece shape compared to many PVC or aluminium whistles
• Range of two octaves, A4 to G#6, and maybe a couple of notes higher although they are rather loud!

Besides the key of G, the whistle is easily played in Dorian mode (the scale starting on A), in C and D major, E and A minor.
