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.

Hi Louis, We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on our African blackwood flute. We’re delighted you found the flute produces a pleasing tone and blows easily. With over 80 five-star reviews and a 4.92 rating, many customers have had similar positive experiences regarding the flute’s sound quality and playability. Our blackwood flute is specifically designed to be an accessible and cost-effective option for beginners. To keep the price affordable, we have chosen not to include certain expensive components, such as silver rings, which are often found on higher-end flutes. These rings are decorative and do not impact the playability or sound quality of the flute. The primary focus of this instrument is to provide a pleasant tone and easy playability for those new to the Irish flute. We believe that beginners should have the opportunity to explore and learn the instrument without a significant financial commitment. Once players gain more experience and a deeper understanding of their preferences, they can consider investing in more advanced and expensive flutes. We understand that this flute may feel different from more costly models, and we appreciate your perspective. We continuously work to improve our instruments based on customer feedback, balancing affordability with quality to make it an ideal starting point for those exploring Irish music. We understand you feel the need to upgrade after a month. Our 30-day money-back guarantee allows customers to ensure the instrument meets their expectations. We encourage you to take advantage of this policy if you’re not completely satisfied, just email service@mcneelamusic.com to initiate the return process. If you have further concerns, please reach out to our customer service team. Warm regards, McNeela Customer Service

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!

It's a piece of garbage. Within a month all the strings have become dead and the instrument is unplayable. The Bridge is obviously the issue as it's made of the cheapest wood I have ever seen on an instrument in its price range. The "floating bridge" doesn't adjust and the strings fall out of place. Even when it sounded nice in the first week I had it the instrument fell out of tune within 15 minutes of playing. I don't understand how this has positive reviews, I guess mine is just an absolute dud. It's been stored well hanging on my wall beside perfectly functioning instruments. I am seeking a full refund and am so heart broken that my goals of learning this beautiful instrument have to be shelved.

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback regarding your experience with the McNeela Premium Irish Bouzouki. Firstly, we would like to apologise for the disappointment and frustration you have encountered with your bouzouki. We understand how disheartening it can be when an instrument fails to live up to expectations, especially when you had goals of learning and enjoying it. We have taken note of the issues you mentioned, the vast majority of time having difficulty to keep the instrument in tune is an issue with the machine heads. We're looking forward to receiving the Bouzouki in question to examine it and of course provide you with a full refund. Once again, thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns. We are committed to providing our customers with high-quality instruments and ensuring their satisfaction. Best regards, Lorcan

I bought this whistle for my 10 year old son. He has been playing on his Clarke Sweetone for about a year. Its a conical bore and he didn't like how softly he had to blow for the lower octave compared to my Walton's Mellow D or my 8 year old son's Feadog, and overall was struggling with breath control. He got this on Christmas and took to it right away. We had practiced some songs to play to my parents over video call and he did a great job playing without having any time to practice with and get used to the AerFlo. He sounded great! The sound is pretty similar to a Feadog, but not as breathy and without the texture or gravely sound that some other beginner whistles have. Not as mellow as my Walton's. Very clear though! The C natural note comes through just as loud as any of the other notes, which none of the other 3 whistles can say. The AerFlo is a little heavier than my other beginner whistles, making me feel like its more durable, and I love the black finish on it. It feels more significant in the hand, making it seem like a little brother to a Wild Irish whistle. Overall it's a nice step above other beginner whistles without a big jump in cost, we are very happy with it.

Nice box, but nor set up for an Irish Flute. I had to cut out additional foam to fit my Watson D flute. I have an older wooden box from McNeela that fits an Irish Flute. This box is bigger, and I think it's designed for a silver flute.

Very satisfied with my purchase! Only have two negatives, the varnish has already started to disappear around the button that I use the most and another button has started to randomly stay half stuck.

C# is flat, especially in the second octave. In equal temperament (440) it registers 40 cents flat. In just tuning, it registers as a C 20 cents sharp. All the D's lean on the sharp side, which makes the C# sound worse. Not impressed. It does have a lovely sound, and it is easy to play, but, again, it's intonation is cringy.

I am very surprised that this instrument was even sent out. There was rust on to of the 4 strings and general workmanship was very poor with a few areas around the frets filled in with some kind of filler. The skin was peeling off all around the banjo and the chromed connector for the strings was bubbled with rust and the bridge was lying at a terrible angle on the skin so clearly had moved during transit. All together very dissapointed but recieved refunds for return and the full cost of the instrument.
