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)

Wild About Wild Irish! I'm wild about Wild Irish tin whistles! While a bit heavier than other whistles I've purchased, I really don't mind it. They are sleek, eye catching in looks while giving a very pleasing mellow non piercing tone! Even my Aussie pup likes the sound and sings along occasionally! From one who has been a woodwind musician for over 50 years I would recommend this instrument to anyone from a mid range novice to professional musician! Yes I'm wild about Wild Irish!

Hi Paraic and team I’m loving my new wild whistle. It’s everything you said it would be. I have a seisiún here at home every month and it was a big hit. So much so that Brian Maddison bought one for his wife who is now waiting expectantly for it to arrive. I find the instrument to have a very fluid movement and the top notes are not strident to the ear. Coupled with its handsome good looks and sound it’s bound to be a winner. Thankyou, slán, Áine Brennan By the way do you remember a pal from schooldays, Malachy O’ Reilly. He does a lot of work for our Irish community here in Adelaide.

Wonderful sound easy to play. I've been playing the Irish tin whistle for the past 3 years. I am 76 years old and taught myself how to do play the whistle. I have purchased many whistles but this is by far the most reasonable price and best quality thus far.

I ordered this whistle on a lark as it sounded nice on the video, but I wasn't expecting it to immediately become my favorite whistle. My first really nice whistle is my Killarney D, which is a spectacular whistle and much loved, but this one actually outclasses the Killarney by just a smidge. It's got a slightly clearer, purer tone and it's got really good volume. The body on the Wild Whistle is weighted so that it better balances against the weight of the fipple. The breath control and ease of getting into the upper register, and even to the third octave C and D, is a piece of cake with this whistle. One thing I love is the matte black finish. All of my brass whistles are horribly tarnished (aka much loved and played), and it's impossible to keep them looking good. Looks are, of course, secondary to the sound. Still, it is so nice not to have to worry about tarnishing the whistle. Now the big thing about this whistle - it RARELY clogs! All of my prior whistles clog constantly and after playing a tune or two. After that, it's a constant battle to try to get the water out of the windway by blowing it out between tunes or sucking the water out quickly mid-tune to try to avoid having to stop and re-start a tune. Every now and then I'll go ahead and blow a little condensation out, but it's infrequently with this whistle and only a small amount. It's wonderful not to have to constantly interrupt my playing to deal with clogging!
