Product Description
The Wild Irish D Tin Whistle Launched in 2021, we were thrilled to announce the introduction of the brand new Wild Irish Whistle to our collection of tuneable tin whistles. Featuring a bright, clear tone, and excellent responsiveness... Find out why this is the only tin whistle you will ever need. The weighted brass body is comfortable to hold and perfect for long bouts of playing. The Wild Whistle requires minimal air flow, making it incredibly player friendly and suitable for players of all levels, from absolute beginners to professional level. 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. Hear 7-Time All Ireland Champion, Robert Harvey, play 'Belhavel Lough' on the Wild Whistle in the video below:

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. Some whistles require a real workout when trying to achieve a clear tone in the higher octave, but the Wild Irish Whistle does the work for you. Ease of playability is paramount to its design. 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. Reviews of The Wild Whistle 'The Wild Whistle has a beautiful sweet, clear tone with nice accurate intonation between the two octaves - even stretching into the third octave.
It’s a robust, reliable instrument that requires very little air pressure to create a full tone and it’s very responsive to articulation.
It’s an ideal instrument for beginners that’s also ideal for developing through intermediate and advanced stages.' - Robert Harvey 'Huge thank you. Just arrived my wild whistle. Heavier than normal, but what a tone. Sweet and sustained. Kept the high notes with no screeching and the easiest of breath control. I'm delighted, thank you.' - Joe G.(customer)

Living with the Wild whistle. Thtone is superb. It's the best of my 13 whistles. I'm composing something for my sister who is a ballet teacher. I let her hear a wee preview on th Wild and I've never seen her face beam like that. She said it was enchanting and more than she'd hoped for. Now I know I made the right choice and I was delighted to read about the other keys you now make them in.

I am playing whistle and flute for a very very long time, and have owened quite a few whistles in my day, but none as nice as this one, This is a very nice instrument well made feels solid in hand, despite feeling a little bit heavy due to the steel body but overall a nicely in tune whistle, just needs a bit of time to get used to the weight, but time is very plentyful at the moment due to lock down, and McNeela are very good to deal with five stars from me, Brian Geoghegan Leitrim.

Easy whistle to play and sounds great. This whistle suprised me, just little. I had a feeling it would be great. Now I'm VERY curious on the all Brass whistle in High D. I had in mind buying rhat first, but my curiosity choosed this, and I'm glad. I'm sure many will have this as a favorite. I'm old school, I need some challenging, time and then the reward of mastering.
