For the price you pay, it is a great buy. Works well and loud enough for a well attended soccer game

I first came across the Acme Thunderer in England (I think they're based in Greenwich) a few years ago. It is the most powerful whistle available... something to do with the size of the pea and the size of the chamber. It's fun to know you can get the best of something for such a modest price.

I am a coach and used this same whistle for over 20 years. I have also trained hunting dogs with this whistle.

It is by FAR the finest whistle made and worth ever penny.

My only suggestion is that you buy 2 or 3 since the only risk is if they stop making these or switch the manufacturing to China or something drastic!

The whistle I have purchased is for a Mom with two small children..when they need a time out...she blows the whistle and they know she wants them to behave..and they DO!

I have a whistle is on my key chain...when I was mugged, many years ago, it saved my life. I had been recently divorced and attended a single's group counseling session. A guest speaker who was a Police officer at the meeting recommended all the women buy a whistle for their key chains. I did and I was one of the 9 out of 10 who escaped bodily harm and loss of purse. I blew this durable whistle so loud that the mugger RAN..soooo kudos to the manufacturer, keep up with the quality of this product.

Gratefully yours,

This whistle is a very loud whistle. My daughter is drum major this year, and I heard her whistle from the stands when she blew it(the whistle) from the other side of the field. And I mean I heard it LOUD AND CLEAR.

This whistle was actually purchased for my daughter, who was the Head Drum Major of a 325 member high school band. Excellet quality, as expected.

This is the larger whistle. We use them in the field for our dogs and you can hear it ALONG ways. Good durable whistle that last forever. This one is actually a gift for someone that keeps wanting to take mine!

I purchased this for use in whistle training my two dogs. This is the same whistle I was issued as an ocean lifeguard at Assateague Island National Seashore in the early 1970s. Same great whistle, very loud, so my dogs are more likely to hear it even when up to a quarter of a mile distant. The loudness is why the National Park Service used them on the beach. That is why I bought them (2).

This is a high quality product at an excellent price. I bought these for my dad who has been a coach for 35+ years - he absolutely despises plastic whistles and was thrilled when I presented him with this one.

Yeah, this is the little guy that started it all, the classic. Make no exceptions. Works like a Whistle. Whistle while you work. Blow him hard.
