https://www.grothmhttps://www.grothmusic.com/p-7769-set-of-12-generation-flageolets-tin-whistles-6-keys.aspx

Is this a decent buy? I have a whistle in brass and nickel in D and a nickel in C. But my C got damaged and I wanted to replace it, but getting some other keys would be fun.

Seems like a good price for a bunch of them

But I have no idea the market for this kind of instrument lol

So each one is tuned to a different key?

Ya. The key is determined by the length of the whistle. The higher it is the shorter it is and the low whistles can get pretty long.

The brass one I have plays fine, but looks like shit. Some people really like the patina it gets from being played but I hate the look.it just looks dirty to me. So I don't really want the brass ones, but on the other hand they do have a slightly different sound than the nickel ones and having a backup would be nice in case one got damaged like my C one did.

What's the range on a single whistle? One or two octaves?

I feel like I've seen something similar in Irish music videos

I'm not musically inclined enough to answer that, but this might answer tour question

Probably can hit a couple of octaves if you alter your embouchre for the higher one.

Looks like it's a decent deal - most of them go for around $15 individually as far as I can see on amazon etc.

If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?

They usually just cut them right off the fog's head.
