Brian Hughes came to the studio to chat Wild Whistles & plays a tune with Paraic!

Join Paraic and Brian Hughes as they discuss and demonstrate the unique sounds of the Wild Whistle.
They talk a bit about the origins of the whistle, and drop a little teaser of a project Brian will be working on this year with the Wild Whistle...can you guess what it is?
Watch till the end to hear them play a set of reels together.

Great to hear you are enjoying the Wild Whistle range. Keep an eye out for our low D Wild Whistle, we'll be launching it soon!

So glad you had Brian Hughes in the studio! My all-time favorite whistle player. Very nice duet! The Wild whistles are lovely, especially in the higher range. And yes, because of Brian I have them all!

Thanks for watching, it was fantastic having Brian in the studio with us! We have some more exciting projects in the works. And delighted to hear you are enjoying the Wild Whistles.

The Wild D is my first whistle, and I absolutely *love* it! I'm also a concert flute player, and the D's fingering is almost identical, so the learning curve was minimal. It's easy to play, too!

Thanks for your comment. We're thrilled you're enjoying the Wild D - it's a great little instrument alright!

As a ‘Wild Child’ 😉 myself, it was entirely down to watching Brian’s videos that enticed me to get the whole set… no regrets! They are absolutely lively whistles with their own sound and personality.
Hoping to hear a sound clip of the Low D Wild soon??!!
Would love Brian to record a definitive Trad Irish Airs CD!
Thanks to Brain and Paraic for such an extraordinary input into Irish whistles. 👍

Thanks for watching! Great to hear you've been playing and enjoying the Wild Whistle set. And yes, we are very excited to be launching the Low D Wild Whistle soon, we'll make sure to have some sound clips available as well as more videos!

Have 3 Wild whistles - A, C and D, love them to bits, great for accompanying singers. Any chance of making a B whistle to accompany singers in the Keys of B and E?

[@mcneelamusic]

Thanks for your comment. It's something we'll be looking into! We have Bb and Eb Wild Whistles available in our range right now. We'll also be launching a Low D very soon.

Hello! Is this new WILD Low D Tunable?

[@mcneelamusic]

Hi there, the Low D is not tuneable, however other whistles in the range are, such as the regular D Wild Whistle.
