“The Wild Irish Rose Whistle is very nice. I was making progress with my complimentary days of teaching, but then… my email was bombarded by vendors selling courses. So it kind of put a chill on why I bought the whistle. So I’ve sat it aside for now…”

“Hi, I recently made a couple of instrument purchases. The first was the Irish Celt tenor banjo. I’m very pleased with the banjo. The quality was evident and the cosmetic changes to the previous model were very well thought out and done very nicely. So I decided to try the A style premium mandolin next. When it arrived it seemed to be well done and arrived in great shape. Due to illness I wasn’t able to spend any time with it until very recently. Well, as I started the learning process I started noticing some problems with my beautiful new mandolin. First of all it was obviously not set up as it should have been. First the G and D tuners were so tight it was impossible to turn them to tune the strings. The tuners are so bad the mandolin is constantly out of tune. I thought the new(?) strings were still stretching but they would have settled down by now. Next the G and D strings are too large for the bridge string guide holes. No setup was obviously done to properly seat the strings halfway down resting in the string slots. Next the tailpiece is installed on a slant which is causing acoustic vibrations because several strings are in contact with the tailpiece cover. This also has resulted in making it extremely difficult to remove the tailpiece cover to install new strings. I’ve tried several times to slide the cover back but it wouldn’t budge. I’m not going to use extreme force to remove the cover because I’m concerned that I might damage the wood body of the mandolin contact point. So now I have to take the mandolin to an expensive local luthier once I find a good one and have him do a total setup including properly sizing the bridge slots and then replace the tuners and also replace the tailpiece. Before I’m done I would probably have spent several hundred dollars to bring it up to the basic shape it should have been in when I opened its shipping box. So I am disappointed McNeela shipped my mandolin to me without doing some basic setup. A basic setup would have caught all these problems without a doubt. My opinion of McNeela has been damaged by this mess. James Casey, Oak Lawn, Illinois USA”

“I wasn't happy with this concertina. Within a few days of playing the buttons started to sound without being depressed - which makes playing impossible since there is always another note playing whatever you play. I was disappointed.”

Hi Howard, Thanks for your review, and we’re really sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with your concertina. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We actually reached out to you back in October to arrange a return so we could repair or replace the instrument for you, and we’re still very happy to do that now. Just let us know, and we’ll cover all return costs to make the process easy. We’d love the chance to make this right—please feel free to get in touch when it suits. Best regards, The McNeela Team

“10/10 for delivery: Nine and a half days from Order in Ireland to Delivery in Adelaide South Australia. 10/10 for quality of tone. 10/10 for solid build Apart from comments on finer points (below) I have to say that after a series of adjustments to nut, saddle and bridge the instrument is beautiful to handle and play; produces a beautiful tone with projection, sustain and just the right level of brightness. It is perfectly suited to an experienced session/ semi-pro gig player; I also expect it would perform well in the studio. I would absolutely recommend it for players up to intermediate and semi pro level. I give 7/10 for accuracy of construction; alignment of body to neck out by approximately 2 or 3 degrees, hard to measure but visually the maple joint piece at the tail end does not line up with the tailpiece and the gaps either side of the neck are unequal where it enters the pot. There were loose bolts/screws on the arm rest and the rim fixings. I did a bit of tightening and all is good now. 9. 5 / 10 for appearance and finish. beautiful gloss finish on excellent timber. a couple of scratches had not been rubbed back before being polished over. Zero/10 for NIL information received about the instrument. No information on care maintenance/ cleaning. No procedure for skin adjustment. No notes about set-up, intonation, string height, bridge and nut adjustments. No Warranty schedule. No advice about string guages. I contacted McNeela about these points which, fair play, was acknowledged immediately. So taking into consideration the excellent price and overall quality I am 100% happy with Mcneela's service, the way the instrument plays and sounds and, after a few weeks practice, I have even been playing the odd tune at my regular session. Well done Padraic.”

“The lever for the half times don’t hold. I sent a support request a week ago but still no answer. The strings are low quality and without doing anything just snap and break. This instrument even if saying that it’s in promotion is too expensive for the quality provided.”

Hi Isiralosi, If the levers are not holding they just need to be tightened. We're going to send you a video within the next 24 hours showing you to do this and how to carefully tune the strings without breaking them. If you can email us which strings that snapped we can send you replacements.

“This flute developed a problem a few days after it arrived and they have given me no help whatsoever. I described the problem in detail, they asked for photos, I sent them and now they don't respond to me when I ask them what is going on with this problem. It's really awful. They have completely quit responding to me after they said they were going to take it back. It is such an expensive mistake to buy from them and I just don't know what to do. I have had to buy another flute from a different company to be able to keep up with my performance schedule, so a lot of money has been wasted because of their terrible service.”

“For the price, I am fairly disappointed. It is definitely a student instrument, probably mass-produced. I suppose that is why it is the only Irish flute available to buy immediately. It does produce quite a pleasing tone and blows fairly easily. My biggest issue is that the flute feels quite cheap, particularly the metal rings which feel like they could fall off quite easily. It is true that it is cheaper than all other flutes on offer, and it is a good instrument to try out the Irish flute, but I already feel like I'll need to upgrade from this instrument after a month of playing. I am also a bit astounded at how many 5 star reviews this has received given that this flute gets very mixed reviews online.”

“This is about the seventh or eighth tin whistle I bought. I ordered it mainly for one reason: in the announcement, it was said the AerFlo was easy for beginners, avoids grating noises, especially in the high octaves, and has a clear sound. All that has proved true. And I need less air to blow. Apart from a well-known whistle of American origin and made of plastic :-) which I own, this is the best tin whistle I've had so far. I am not a great whistler, so for me, it is particularly well suited. To sum it up: a good tin whistle with a pleasant and clear sound that widely avoids grating or screeching noises!”
