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.

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.

My wife, the whistle player says: I love these whistles (low a and high d). I enjoy the weight and the feel of them. I would appreciate advice about how to handle the frequent build up of wetness that interferes with my play. I suppose I will adjust eventually as I have with problems with other whistles. The richness of sound is noticed by others and I find myself choosing them frequently from my little pile of tin whistles.

Wild A McNeela Whistle I’m a novice when it comes to the Whistle. I don’t know the technical lingo or the arty jargon about the way these instruments play, so I’ll just speak from the heart. These McNeela Wild Whistles are beautiful. They sing. They are so kind to beginners- giving a lovely rich depth of tone, and taking away that early learning fear of venturing higher into the second octave. I bought the McNeela Wild D, as my first serious whistle. (I had initially established with a very cheap Feadog tin whistle that I wanted to take this new hobby further.) The Wild D ignited my passion further and I knew I wanted to partake of more of the Wild keys available. The Wild D sold me on what great quality these instruments were and I knew McNeela were a firm I could communicate with and trust. That was the start of a love affair with these Wild whistles. Even before I bought this first whistle, I knew I was onto something special, by listening to the videos of Brian Hughes demonstrating just what is possible to achieve from this beautifully crafted instrument. For a beginner, this was important. If I knew the limits of the whistle, I could measure my own progress knowing what I could hope to be able to achieve, with time and practice, and not be held back by the limitations that many inferior instruments may impose. Then there was the dealing with the company. I don’t honestly think I have ever experienced better customer service from a business. Fantastic communication, helpfulness, friendliness, and a first rate service in all aspects. I feel they are very rightfully proud of their products and their love of the craft of all aspects of Irish music is very contagious. Registering on their website has opened up access to regular additional emails and videos sharing so much of the musical culture of Ireland. It is always good to see a regular email from McNeela - usually I unsubscribe from such regular email subscriptions and newsletters, but I honestly welcome the aftersales connection with McNeela. The Wild A is as pleasing as its other Wild Siblings. I play this when feeling I want to turn down the speed and turn up the emotion. It doesn’t disappoint. It is soft and mellow and lifts your music to a pleasing sweetness. I have medium sized hands and can use the finger hole spacing with finger pads ok. If you love the music, you’ll love these whistles. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Postage and packing and the great protective whistle bags ensure they arrive safe in the post. Every whistle I have received has been in immaculate condition after journeying to the UK. I have no qualms in fully recommending my experience with McNeela. They are honest and trustworthy and a master of their craft.
