An ornament system enables unique and authentic performances, and TACT (Total Articulation Control Technology) offers ultimate customizable mapping. The tin whistle, also known as feadóg in Gaelic, is a simple yet versatile instrument in traditional Celtic music. It became popular in the UK in the 19th century. We chose it for its cultural value, pure tone, and great versatility. It can play both fast, ornamented parts and slow, emotional melodies, and has been used in film, TV, and game scoring, like in the Lord of the Rings scores.
