Whistle That Worth It's Weight And More!
Superb craftsmanship. Just tapping on the whistle sounds pretty like a bell. When the whistle slides side to side on my personal silver bead chain, it kinda jingles in a pretty way. The sound is amazing and pretty. Very loud. Attention grabbing head turner for sure. When you blow this whistle it brings back memories of everywhere you heard it before. And that's allot of places, tv shows, games and other major events. Nicest whistle I've ever seen and heard. Worth every penny. Excellent gift. Possible heirloom.

Looks, feels and sounds superb
I am a regular volunteer on a narrow gauge heritage steam railway in Australia and wanted a whistle to be proud of. This whistle exudes quality as soon as you open the package and have it in your hand. It has a nice solid weighty feel to it, the surface finish is exquisitely smooth and the sound is superb. I honestly cannot fault it. There are a few videos online that show these whistles being made... well worth hunting down the video and watching to see the care and craftsmanship put into such a fundamentally simple item.

Easy to use large loud whistle.
I'm an official at our local swim club and use a whistle during swim meets. I have had several whistles and this one is larger and heavier than average whistle. Easy to blow and get sound even when wet and during swim meets I get soaked from head to toe as I'm required to stand on the side with swimmers diving off the starting block. I would recomend this whistle for any coach or official and for either men or women. It doesn't come with a layard and I recomend getting one thats has a sturdy clip.

There is only one whistle.
I first experienced Acme Thunderer whistles whilst learning to skate in the frozen north. Through my hockey years it was a constant - coaches, refs, unruly spectators - everyone had the same whistle. Over the years, its call dug well and truly deep into those winter morning memories. In more recent years I've wanted a whistle for use in the back country and bought a procession of "survival" and "outdoor" plastic things that were advertised as "the best". They are all c**p. There is only one whistle. The Acme Thunderer makes you sound like you're summoning the spirits of your ancestors, of millennia of voices to carry your messages on the wind. There's a moment when you first run the AT whistle up to full throttle that the world around you pauses for it senses something momentous is about to transpire. From those first terrifying moments as a 4 year old when you cross the blue line ahead of the puck and are whistled down for it (hockey reference), to calling out to a distant companion across an arroyo deep in canyon country, every one of a lifetime of whistle calls comes through in that deep rolling call of the AT. I'd buy it again (but I'm not sure I'll ever have to since the thing is built to outlast you and most of your decedents).

Best Whistle Out There!
Very durable, sound is clear and shrill enough to get attention, even from a ways away. Bought this for my BOB and will get more for my children's bags. Will update this review once I get more use out of it.

Wird beruflich verwendet - ich hab sie mir dann auch vergoldet gegönnt. Die Kollegene, denen ich dieses Modell geschenkt habe, sind auch begeistert… Haptik, Ton, Design - passt alles!

Grandísima calidad. Lo malo es que tienes que tener gran capacidad pulmonar. Se te va casi el alma al tocarlo, pero se oye muchísimo.

Vraiment efficace. Très audible? Véritable sifflet de police / d'arbitrage. Utile en randonnée. Bref ! Achat à ne pas négliger.
