A Whistles by Wild Irish
This whistle is out of 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 Wild Irish whistles are 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.
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.
If you are not completely satisfied with your Wild Irish Whistle, you may return it with a return shipping label postmarked 14 days after delivery to you. If no damage is found, you will receive a full refund for the cost of the whistle minus a $5 cleaning and restocking fee.

This may be my favorite whistle to play out of the dozen or so I own.*
It plays in A major, of course, but it’s very useful for playing in D. If you start out in D but then find you need to reach down to an A, this whistle has you covered.
Even if you don’t “need” an A whistle to play in D, you might want to use this anyway. It’s got a more mellow sound than the Wild Irish D (which is, I’ll say, pleasing enough).
I’m able to play this with the standard grip. But if you need to use a piper’s grip, that may not be so bad. Consider it an easy introduction to what you would likely have to do with a low whistle.
It’s got the same quality build as the other Wild Irish whistles I own. My only complaint is that the whistle and the pouch are both (mostly) black, which can make them hard to spot. Some people might find this heavy. Made of brass, it’s much heftier than an aluminum or tin instrument.
* The inventory: MK Low D; MK Low F; Generation B-flat; Wild Irish C; Wild Irish D; Wild Irish A; Clarke and Feadog whistles in C and D

This may be my favorite whistle to play out of the dozen or so I own.* It’s got a beautiful tone, is easy to play into the second octave, and even into the third A. It looks great, too, and feels solid in the hands.
It plays in A major, of course, but it’s very useful for playing in D. If you start out a tune in D but find you need to reach down to an A, you will benefit from an A whistle. (It’s much easier to use an A whistle in this case than to start on the A in the first octave of a D whistle and then going even higher.) This model will serve you well in that situation.
Even if you don’t “need” an A whistle to play in D, you might want to use this one in lieu of a D whistle anyway. It’s got a more mellow sound than the Wild Irish D (which is, I’ll say, pleasing enough).
I’m able to play this with the standard grip. But if you do need to use a piper’s grip, that may not be so bad. Consider it an easy introduction to what you would have to do with a low whistle. (If you haven’t tried a low whistle, consider one.)
It’s got the same quality build as the other Wild Irish whistles I own. Made of brass, it’s much heftier than an aluminum or tin instrument. Some people might not like the weight. I wish it came in something other than black (I find black objects hard to spot), but that’s a minor shortcoming.
