The term flageolet is still preferred by some modern tin whistle who feel this better describes the instrument, as this characterises a wide variety of fipple flutes, including penny whistles.

The modern penny whistle is indigenous to the British Isles particularly England when factory-made " tin whistles " were produced by Robert Clarke from ( 1840 – 1882 ) in Manchester and later New Moston, England.

The Clark tin whistle is voiced somewhat on an organ-pipe with a flattened tube forming the lip of the fipple mouthpiece and is usually made from rolled tin sheet or brass.

Clarke whistles were sold for a nominal fee ( a British penny ) and the acquired names of penny and tin whistle have endured to modern times.

The term may also refer to certain types of nickel silver alloys as well as Cu-Zn-Sn alloys with high proportions ( typically 40 %+) of tin and / or zinc, as well as predominantly zinc casting alloys with copper additive.

However other alloys such as low tin bronze were also used and they vary depending on local cultural attitudes, the purpose of the metal and access to zinc, especially between the Islamic and Byzantine world.
