I didn't realize I needed an Acme whistle until I saw one on line. I use it mainly on bike rides to alert squirrels I'm coming through. Sometimes I blow it just for fun. It always evokes a smile. How many things can you say that about?

1.0 out of 5 stars Item Pictured Not Item Received, January 28, 2011

The Acme Siren Whistle ordered THREE TIMES and received & returned to Amazon THREE TIMES was not the item pictured. The whistle pictured was ALL metal and those received had a plastic neck (as per item being reviewed) and not the ALL METAL whistle I ordered and paid for. Upon my money being returned, I plan to contact the Acme Co. to order the proper whistle. I will also advise Acme that Amazon.com, as well as their provider companies, are doing an inferior job of representing Acme. Disappointedly, William M. Ray

I got this for a middle school band piece that needed the "cartoon style" siren whistle effect. While not a cheap percussion accessory, it is definitely a quality instrument. Solidly built and works perfectly. It does have a plastic end with a completely metal body. The plastic is hard and appears to be built to last. My students love the sound and I always get smiles every time it is played. You can use different amounts of air and blowing times to create an interesting variety of sounds.
