ACME 58.5 Brass Thunderer Whistle

Rugby ref used for years - absolutely cracking whistle. Never let me down!

The Acme Thunderer whistle – large, is a mighty fine whistle! On a recent TV train journey Michael Portillo visited the Birmingham factory of J Hudson & Co – now known as Acme Whistles – and watched these whistles being made. The love and attention that went into their production made me want one – although I don't have a serious need for one other than as a bit of fun. I'm really glad I bought one as it is a genuinely lovely thing – British engineering and manufacturing at it's best! Whatever your need I'm sure you will not be disappointed with an Acme whistle.

It's a good whistle, It's nice and loud. I would have preferred a higher pitch but hey it does the trick (recalling my dog). I will probably buy another one that's higher pitch at some point.

I bought it for school and was not disappointing. It gives a very metallic, heavy and thick feeling. The sound is very powerful and consistent. It's a very excellently built whistle. The only annoying thing is, as i have it around my neck with my ID card, as they collide this gives of a cow bell sound, which is becoming a bit annoying, but when i get to blow it, i forget everything lol.

Excellent product, arrived on time

The Acme Thunderer is legendary for a reason. It is great for getting the attention of the children on a Sunday morning, whatever the weather. I have it on an England Rugby lanyard which is quite long, so I have to be careful that the whistle doesn't hit a child in the face when bending down. Will probably pair it with a wrist lanyard soon!

this is called a stop whistle and used when you want your dog to stop at a distance - good for gundogs. I have not yet trained my collie to stop so will not write any more comments. It worked really well with my spaniels.

Rather unusually i suppose, I needed the whistle for a production of "Kes" .A Thunderer is specified in the script.. Looks right, sounds right. Delivery was very fast. Thank you.

Die ist laut! Die Thunderer Pfeife wurde sogar bereits auf der Titanic eingesetzt und bis heute bei vielen Profiwettbewerben. Die 58,5 hat einen tieferen Ton als die am meisten verkaufte 60,5. Diese Pfeife ist gut verarbeitet (aus Messing) und ihre 10€ wert.

Très très bonne qualité

I carry this item every day in my key ring. It has been in my pocket for years. It looks, feels and works as new. If you need a top notch, premium whistle to work for years, look no further, this is it.

si distingue! ottimo e potente fischio

This is a classic whistle, good heft and great sound. Worth every penny.
