Everybody in the officating world knows that a Fox 40 whistle is the ONLY one to buy. So for you fellow officials out there (and coaches) you can skip this one. For the rest of you: Fox 40s are not "new" as the ad discription implies. They simply are not mass market and not what people think about when they think of whistles. They think of the often-times big, clunky, metal ones with that cork "pea" in it. Others do come in smaller sizes and are made of different materials. But theres one thing they have in common... they all have that cork thingie. That thing that gets stuck in the chamber and also causes the whistle to sound lame. Fox 40 whistles have been in use for years by Referees and other professions where an audible signal needs to be heard regardless of the surrounding noise- high school gym, football arena, etc. Other occupations benefit from its EXTREMELY loud signal, like traffic police in the middle of a busy intersection, for example. The chamber design allows air to flow through it in some "space age" way, or whatever. Thats why you shouldnt ever blow it directly into someones ear. Anyway, now that youre initiated go ahead and get a couple. Whats great about Amazon is that you used to only be able to get these from Officiating specialty shops. Its about time they hit the masses.
