Just wondering. I was on http://www.hobgoblin.com and they have the metal and ABS whistles listed as Tin Whistles and the wooden ones listed as Flageolets. Is the material the only facter in diferentiating the two? or is there some other difference between them?
Just a little jeopardy question for everyone

Technically speaking, a tin whistle is a type of flageolet, a group of instruments which also includes the ahem recorder…
The flageolette proper has a pipe you blow in at the top.
Alba makes a tinwhistle version of the flageolette:
