Product Description

Description

The Wild Wooden Whistle in D

The latest addition to our Wild Whistles is in the key of D and has been produced in collaboration with Tommy Martin.

The main body is crafted from African Blackwood, Olivewood, or Rosewood, which are high-quality tonewoods that give you more power, clarity and punch, and offers greater harmonic complexity.

It has a conical bore that tapers so that it’s slightly wider at the top. And the tone holes have gently undulating bevels in between them, so that you can keep the first and second octaves in tune together.

On to this main body we’ve added a classic Wild Irish brass and delrin fipple, but one that’s been slightly modified so that it’s closer to a C whistle than a D whistle.

The result is a beautifully balanced D whistle that effortlessly reaches the highs you usually only get with a C whistle. With a sound that's impressively robust, powerful and crisp.

Special Offer! Order today and get a FREE whistle case, plus 2 months' FREE access to John O’Brien’s Ultimate Tin Whistle course (see below).

Watch the video below and see Tommy Martin showcase its remarkable qualities.

*These are hand-tuned whistles, tooling marks on the fipple are to be expected.

Product highlights

Not Your Average Whistle

The main body of this whistle has gently undulating bevels in between the tone holes that give it a genuinely unique look and feel. This means you can move your fingers back and forth between holes without having to fully stop them, so you can play in the ‘chanter’ style of the uilleann pipes. Which is particularly useful when playing the pacier tunes in Irish trad.

A ‘D’ Whistle That Sounds Like No Other

The combination of the tapered bore, the modified head, the undulating bevels in between the tone holes and the fact that it’s crafted from African Blackwood, Olivewood, or Rosewood all come together to produce a D whistle that doesn’t sound (or look) like any D whistle you’ve ever heard or played before.

Style, Quality & Durability

With its gently weighted, rich tonewood body, and the classic Wild Irish brass and delrin fipple, this is a whistle you’ll be proud to take out and play at any Irish trad session. While the combination of these quality materials make this an instrument that’ll last you a lifetime.

A Note From Paraic

If you’re looking for the most focused and powerful tone, I recommend the Blackwood. It gives you strong projection, clear note definition, and a sound that stays controlled right across the range.

If you want something a little softer and more mellow, Olivewood is a lovely choice. It has a warmer middle register and a more relaxed, organic character under the breath.

If you’re after a classic woody tone, Rosewood is the one to go for. It’s warm but still clear, with a little more brightness than Blackwood, easy everyday playing.
