Wild Irish Whistle - Key of A
We are 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. Comes With A Wild Whistle Case: Free While Stocks Last

Well balanced, a generous and patient whistle which really does give the beginner a chance to fashion a tune . I play guitar but never great with wind. All will change now, though, especially as I have used the on-line lesson platform. I am aiming to be session ready by Mid-Summer. Gerard ( McManus )

It’s true! All of the reviews I’ve read about the Wild Irish whistle had been so positive, I had to try one. Wow. It didn’t disappoint. I chose the A key as I find the high D a little piercing as I have to wear hearing aids which just amplify everything. It is so easy to play compared to other whistles. The tone is perfect across all the notes. Yes it’s heavy, but that’s because it’s a quality instrument that’s built to last a lifetime. Buy one.

The best thing about this A whistle is the lovely warm tone. It is attractively finished. For players with small hands the size is good. This whistle is a real pleasure to play. I hope to save up and buy Wild whistles in other keys.

Wonderful low whistle. Beautiful clear tone, which personally I prefer over breath low whistles. Responsive and affordable. Couldn't really ask for anything more, especially from this price range.

Inspired by my recent purchase of a Wild E flat (my first), I have also acquired a C, B flat and A, and they do not disappoint. Like the others, the A presents a rich and round tone and sweetness in the upper register, while retaining the brightness and clarity one expects of a whistle. I recommend it without reservation. McNeela's customer service - not to mention authentic commitment to the living tradition these instruments represent - is without parallel in my experience.

Solid, Consistently Tuned...but heavy. Notes are consistently in tune with each other, no "weak" notes. The instrument is heavier in weight than I expected, and more the thickness of a heavy duty pipe than the other whistles I've had. The A whistle I bought could use a thumb rest addition to help distribute the weight.
