Product highlights

Effortlessly Easy to Play

What sets this whistle apart is how little effort it takes to get a great sound. Thanks to the brass fipple with a Delrin cork insert, it produces a clear, strong tone across both octaves with very little airflow.

That means fewer breathy struggles and more music, especially for new players or those switching into the key of A. The large bore helps fine-tune your tone, while keeping things smooth and easy to fill.

“The Wild Irish Whistle line is the sweetest sounding whistle I’ve ever played. Every one has a beautiful sound, rich with overtones. I love that it is tuneable.” - Tom D.

Silky, Soulful Tone

This whistle was made for expressive playing. Crafted from solid brass, it offers a lush, resonant sound that stays bright and clear even in the higher register. Not harsh or thin, just a tone that will make your music feel alive from the very first breath.

The Wild Whistle’s tuneable design lets you adjust the headjoint for perfect tuning, boosting your confidence, nailing harmonies, and lowering any frustrations.

“Just a great whistle, especially nice in the higher registers. Been playing a variety of whistles for 50 years & this is my favorite so far.” - Dan

Comfort in Every Note

The weighted feel and smart proportions of the Wild make it a pleasure to hold. It feels balanced with every note, reduces hand fatigue, and helps keep your fingers relaxed and responsive, especially during fast tunes and longer playing sessions. It’s a whistle you’ll want to pick up again and again.

“A beautiful whistle. It's that bit heavier than a standard whistle and as a result has a lovely deep tone.” - John C.
