Listen to the famous whistle player, Brian Hughes's review of our Wild Irish Whistle below 
 
Quality Materials for a Sublime Sound
We’ve made this whistle from brass due to its excellent acoustic properties. Brass gives a brighter and more responsive sound than aluminium. The brass fipple also features a sturdy Delrin cork which helps to create a strong, clear tone.
The fipple plays a crucial role in the tone any whistle produces. That’s why ours is made from Delrin. Delrin is a polymer that offers high wear resistance and longevity. It also helps to produce a brighter tone that will cut through any session.
It’s designed with a sleek, stylish matte black finish which will turn heads at any Irish music session.
Don’t let the price confuse you. This is a premium whistle, among the top whistles on the market, but offered at a budget friendly price. The Wild Whistle will make a beautiful sound from the moment you pick it up to play your very first note. You’ll be excited to practice on this quality instrument. It will take your playing to the next level in no time at all.

The Wild whistle in Bb not only has great intonation, it also plays comfortably up to the 4th harmonic on the lower hand (and indeed higher), so tunes spanning two octaves lose none of their resonance. It looks good, too. Been playing whistles for 30 or 40 years, but the Wild is one of the finest I've come across. Highly recommended!

I now have three Wild whistles from McNeela Music, 'D' 'low D' and 'b flat'. I am thoroughly enjoying learning to play these great instruments. There is a small nick in the mouthpiece of the 'b flat' but it doesn't affect the sound at all. After polishing the brass sleeve around the mouthpiece, which was a little tarnished, it sounds and plays perfectly well. I just wish I could play my concertina as well as I manage the whistles. Keep practicing.

I love this whistle, previously played an inexpensive one for a over a year, and can say that the difference in quality is obvious. Tuning is way better, transition between octaves is smooth, hitting high notes is so much easier. And, of course, the sound quality makes a huge difference. Just one thing that I find a bit worse is that A-flat sounds noticeably weaker as compared to other notes than expected, so I think it needs to be blown somewhat harder. Also, I'm still getting used to its weight, but this is what I was prepared for. Overall, I'm really happy with the instrument, it's totally worth having! And the service is great too, shipping to Ukraine took longer than two weeks, but the parcel arrived in perfect condition

I love the finish on the whistle! It plays so wonderfully, right from removing from the packaging. It is easy to hit the second octave and my fingers quickly adjust to the hole size and positions. This whistle is worth every penny spent!!

I was quite comfortable with my Bb mass produced one with respect to the tone. This one's tone is way better in my opinion and it feels easy to play despite it's a Bb. Will order an A wild whistle also with that experience.

Great service and communication. The B flat whistle feels substantial but produces a beautifully mellow tone. Highly recommended.
