Lot 680: A Collection of Traditional Folk Wind and Percussion Instruments including Feadóg and Clarke
A collection of traditional folk wind and percussion instruments of varied cultural origins. The group includes a ten-pipe wooden pan flute of Andean type, bound with light-coloured material and featuring a carrying cord. Two large wooden flutes are present: one in a light-coloured wood with circular carved decorations around the finger holes, and another in a darker-stained wood featuring decorative turned bands and a black ferrule at the foot. A light-coloured bamboo flute is included, showing dark-stained bands near the mouthpiece and finger holes. The collection features two Irish-style whistles: a brass-bodied whistle with a green plastic mouthpiece, printed with the name ‘feadóg’, and a black tin whistle attached to its original yellow and maroon cardboard packaging. The packaging identifies this as ‘The ORIGINAL CLARKE PENNY WHISTLE ESTABLISHED IN 1843’ and specifies it is in the ‘KEY C’. Percussion is represented by a gourd jingle bell shaker with hand-painted black, white, and orange geometric patterns, four metal crotal bells, and a red tassel. Further items include a small bamboo whistle and a wooden percussion striker.
