5 Stars Small Acme Thunderer: Nothing Like It!
I used this whistle while serving as drum major for a college marching band. In a loud stadium with over 90,000 fans, this whistle can still be easily heard across the field or throughout the stands because of its high frequency.
A lot of referees prefer this whistle as well because of its quick response and loud sound. The small Acme Thunderer is much more responsive than its larger counterpart.
Highly recommended!
5 Stars The Cadillac of whistles
Ahh.. the famed Acme Thunder. This virtually indestructable little whistle brings back memories of my younger years as a lifeguard. I recall being told early on by the “veteran” lifeguards that my generic no-name whistle just wouldn’t do. They claimed it would be broken by mid summer. Sure enough, within a few weeks, my generic whistle began to crack open around the edges, from dropping it, and banging it into my seat as I twirled it during the seemingly endless hours of watching others have fun. My generic whistle was indeed rendered useless by mid summer, so I went out and bought the “lifeguard approved” Acme Thunder. I do not exagerate when I say that this was the last whistle I purchased. This thing amazingly lasted four summers of pure abuse, and is still in perfect condition today, over 15 years later. I currently use it as a dog training whistle for my new puppy. I came to amazon with the intent to buy a second whistle for my girlfriend, and am hoping that they are made just as well today as they were 15 years ago.
5 Stars Great Little Whistle
This is the same whistle I used over 45 years ago as a lifeguard. I was pleased to discover that it is still the same high quality whistle. I am pleased to have found a replacement for an old friend that served me well.
