ACME No 12 British Admiralty pattern Boatswain (Bosun) pipe. Professional quality solid brass navy military whistle. Made in the UK. Includes full instructions. Film Memorabilia (Antique Brass)

Good quality and great sound.

You're going to have to practice for a day or so but it works exactly as it should and is durable and good looking. I use it to pipe my sales manager in for his monthly meetings and he loves it.

Este pito marinero lo compré por pura nostalgia de los tiempos en que estuve en la marina.He de decir que no soy para nada experto en el manejo de este pito, el cual tiene varias técnicas y requiere buen entrenamiento para aprovecharlo correctamente.Para los que están familiarizados con este tema, es una nostalgia recordar el "torrotito".Producto recomendado.

I was expecting a quality whistle from Acme, even if it needed a little tweaking as some of them do. NOPE. The gun was set almost 3/16" too far back from the hole in the buoy, and almost completely misses it. It also looks like it was out of alignment to start with and had to be "adjusted" by bending the keel and end of the gun, leaving a noticeably folded spot in the keel. It's almost impossible to even get enough air across it to make it whistle. I've fixed these things before, but this one is so far out I'm not touching it. I was pretty disappointed; I've had whistles that were better out of the box for half that price. Hopefully the replacement will be better; I know some people have gotten top notch Acme #12, so maybe mine was just an aberration.

Good quality, good value for your money

It works well for what it is. A little bit on the small side though. I have bigger hands and it was a bit of a struggle at first to find the right grip the was that the Navy taught. Came with kinda instructions and a bit of terminology and description on the certificate of authenticity.

I am a Chief Boatswain's Mate and needed a new functional whistle to conduct a ceremony. Most whisltes sold on here are soley for display purposes but not this one. This one is slightly shorter than the standard issued vanguard ones we usually use in the Coast Guard and Navy but much higher quality. Because of the size difference I had to play with it for a bit to find a new hand position that worked well but it was no sweat and didn't need to be tuned at all like most new whistles do. There are no voids where the bowl meets the pea and Reed that usually get filled with wax or solder. It's already cleanly soldered in the common spots and shined up. All notes are crisp, clean, and loud from this pipe. If your looking for a real one that performs great this is it.

it isnt tuned at all you have to blow way to hard to produce tone but it will whistle if you really blow take your time filing front of pea to far
