Mil-Tec Nickel-Plated Boatswain Compact Lightweight Portable Whistle for Maritime Signaling, 5 x 1 in., 0.8 oz. | Loud, Clear Signals for Communication on Ships and Boats | Emergency Deck Signaling

We needed this for Captain von Trapp in Sound of Music. The actor could play it right away - so easy to use and the sound is nice and loud. Good, solid, quality piece.

Works well, very loud. The tube is not tapered at the bowl and you can hear the wind draft.

I have purchased several Mil-Tec Sturm Nickel Plated Boatswain whistles over the last year on Amazon. For the money, these are a great buy when compared to other legitimate boatswain or bosun whistles/pipes--which can run from $30-60. The Mil-TECs are nice and loud, and do not need to be "tuned." A word of caution, however. There are a number of cheap knockoffs being passed off as Mil-Tec on the internet, including on Amazon. One earmark to watch for is the shape of the bowl. The Mil-Tec bowl is smooth and round. Some fakes are embossed and have flattened sides. I have included a photo of one that was sent to me a few days ago from a from a company on Amazon who were recommended as "Amazon's Choice." This vendor was advertising Mil-Tec pipes with the correct photo on their site, but the photo I have posted is what they sent. Basically a cheap pipe, knock-off that does not work.

Pipes sounds so great and genuine!May not need to tune, it whistles fine for me.I have ordered many times and all were delivered without damage or missing. Great seller!

This bosun’s whistle was playable right away, no tuning needed. It takes practice to use effectively but you get a good sound from this one.

The end of the pipe is not in the position it is shown in the photo. It's too far back and barely makes any sound at all. Not useable.

whistle was a gift to a Vietnam-era bos'ns mate; he liked it.

Good tone, somewhat small to fit properly in hand. Hard to develop a good clinch, but happy with it.

This was a great value and I still have this whistle today. Usually with lower priced whistles you have to adjust the airflow, however this one is great and needed no adjustment.

Schneller Versand, Top Qualität, man sollte wie bei dem Original das Blasrohr etwas verdünnen , kann man mit einer Zange etwas zusammendrücken,so wird auch der Signalton lauter!!
