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.

Fast Track to Playing Irish Tunes
What stands out about the Wild Irish Whistle is that it’s remarkably playable. It makes playing and practicing a breeze. This whistle offers excellent tuning between octaves and a bright, sweet tone throughout, even in the higher register. So you won’t get any unwanted shrill high notes when you play. Your ears (and everyone else’s) will thank you.

It’s easy to fill with air, making it especially accessible for beginner tin whistle players. No need to huff and puff or overexert yourself, fighting a losing battle against an unresponsive instrument.

McNeela whistle, key of A Very good on both octaves, there`s very little, if at all of fluttering reaching the higher notes and vice versa. About the best A whistle I have.

Having already bought a Wild Whistle in C which is truly wonderful I decided to buy a Wild in A, I already have a couple of A whistles but am not completely happy with them so as the C Wild whistle was so good decided to buy the A. I was not disappointed. There was a slight problem at first, a Wild D was sent by mistake, I needed the A for a festival I was playing in and contacted Mcneela Music to explain the situation. I could not have asked for better customer service from Mcneela Music, Aaron responded quickly and sent the A whistle which arrived the day I was leaving for the festival, not only did the A arrive in time but very kindly I was told to keep the D as well. I could not have asked for better service than that so a big thank you to Mcneela Music not just for selling such wonderful instruments but for such amazing customer service. Now back to the Wild Whistle in A, the weight is wonderful, solid and balanced, the look is amazing, the photographs on the website look good but do not compare to holding the actual whistle. Playing the whistle is a dream, solid tone in the lower register and up an octave it is sweet with no distortion or squeaks when playing top A. The whole Wild range I have is a delight to own. At the festival I was asked about the whistles I was using, the A,D and C Wild whistles, this was from a fellow whistle player who when looking and holding the whistles could not believe the quality with the price tag. The whistle player said she would be looking at ordering soon. To end the review, if you are looking for an excellent playing and wonderful looking whistle from a company the offers amazing aftersales and customer service go for a Wild Whistle from Mcneela Music, you will not be disappointed.

My new Wild whistle in A. Having bought a Wild whistle in D and loving it, I decided to get one in A. Same quality. Same weighty feel. Lovely smooth sound. I wrote a piece for my daughter, who is a ballet teacher and wanted to fim her dancers on the canal paths. She said the haunting sound of the Wild whistles was exactly what she hoped for. Thanks again McNeela.
