I was wondering if the instrument that has the all-important solo throughout the song is a piccolo. I love it and was trying to figure that out. If it is not, does anyone know what it is? Jen

From the www.wandering-whistler.com webpage:

Irish penny whistle (also known as the tin whistle, tin flute, fipple flute, among other assorted names).

According to the Whistle Page FAQ:

That's a B-flat whistle, and probably made by the Generation company.
