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.

I've been on the fringe of taking my learning seriously. Over the years, I have owned a few different whistles and I can say without a doubt this is the best brass whistle I have played. It has a nice weight to it that for me, makes it a pleasure to hold and play. It doesn't feel like a toy. From the mouthpiece the bottom end, every aspect of this instrument speaks high quality. I don't see any shortcuts taken. Not only is the sound pure and clean, I find the hole position and shape to be easy for me to cover the holes and get clean notes. As the video on this page shows, the tone is beautiful. The design and build quality of this whistle is the best I have seen. I can't believe it doesn't cost more. The well made case is a huge bonus, thank your McNeela Music!! I will be back for more whistles in other keys.

I’ve recently got a new Wild Irish whistle from McNeela, this one in the key of A. I feel it’s a wonderful whistle, very comfortable to play, you can reach the upper octave effortlessly. I love how it sounds, it’s got a mellow, deep and clear tone. I’m really delighted with it. And thank you for your excellent after sales service.

After purchasing a D and Bb, well, I was eager to get that A under my fingers. Surprisingly, that semitone below the Bb really makes a difference with respect to how the whistle responds. Needs way more care of air pressure to get those lowest three tones not going flat, but hey, so they have a bit of extra volume. And it's still feeling more like a tin whistle than a low whistle. If there was a mezzo G - I'd not hesitate to order one.

The A whistle is the 3rd Wild I’ve purchased… the tone is exactly as they advertise, very rich and full, and the feel of the instrument really gives the sense of quality. I’m sure I’ll be completing the set soon!
