Handcrafted in Parma, Italy

An Dreoilín tin whistles, made by hand

Each whistle is shaped, tuned and finished entirely by hand — a single maker, one instrument at a time, built to sing.

From a broken whistle

It all began with a broken whistle. Not a sudden failure, but a slow one: the head started to wobble after just six months of use, a defect I found too common for that model.

One maker, one instrument

I'm Luca, based in Parma, Italy. An Dreoilín — the wren in Irish — is born from a long-standing passion for Irish music, craftsmanship and the search for a pure traditional whistle voice.

Every whistle leaves my hands shaped, filed, and tuned by me personally. The 3D-printed fipple head is designed with deliberate attention, and in every step I invest in the quality of the material and the precision of the finish.

This is a young, honest project. One model, made with care, one at a time.
