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.

It’s not perfect and so I’d like to assign a 4.5. It’s beautiful, the tone is excellent, and it’s great to play with. But it is definitely a chunky monkey. And the weight makes it difficult to play at times. Most tin whistles are so light that there’s no issue with fast fingering. But for this one, I really have to concentrate to keep it from simply falling down under gravity. It literally tries to fall away from my fingers. Clearly, you can overcome it, but in the best of all possible worlds, it would sound the same and yet be substantially lighter. The note holes also seem to me to be larger than they need to be, impacting fingering. I’d have to play one with smaller holes to say this for sure, but it certainly is my intuition

This is my first A whistle. I haven’t used it for any song yet. But it is very beautiful and easy to hold. I think it will be a good asset for my future use.

It's so much heavier and satisfying to hold than it looks, and it sounds even better than it feels! Magnificent instrument, and I'm more than likely to collect a few more, now that I realize what I'm dealing with. How this is a similar price to entry-to-mid level whistles of other origins is beyond me--it feels like I got it at 50% off what it's worth, even not on sale.

Good whistle, more than 2 octaves, mellow in the first, brilliant in the second, third is for quick passages. Beautifull look, little heavy but get used to. I studied trumpet, recorder, bagpipes, and am a wet player. The flutes has no clogging in the second cause of wind speed, a little down under, but I study pipers grip, which is not necessary on the A, so it is maybe a fingering problem caused by 8 years less playing. Very reasonable price, quick shipment. Lessons send for free, access to the Irish music community. I am wild of my Wild.
