The sound out of this thing IS beautiful and having taught myself on the plastic, this was easy to use. My first couple of days with it I was a very happy camper and if I'd just written my review then, It would have gotten 4 or 5 stars. Alas, after a couple of days, the taste this thing had was unbearable for me. Truly unbearable. I tried rinsing it daily and that made a little difference, but really only a little. Ultimately I had to stop using it because the lingering taste was just horrid.
Next I treated myself to a high end brass version but I quickly found that to have an unpleasant (though not quite as bad as this one) taste as well. I abandoned that for a corian version. No taste whatsoever but really not as nice a piece as the metal ones. The sound is fine. I used to be silversmith and still have the whole setup in my house. I am thinking of trying to make my own out of silver. Since I wear this thing all day every day it would be nice to have one that actually looks like a nice piece of jewelry, no?
So I have to wonder whether there is some chemical in my saliva that just reacts badly to these metals. Lots of people seem to love this whistle and seemingly are not bothered by the taste. I love the acme whistle company and own other whistles from their collection and have not had the taste problem. They produce such high quality stuff but this one just didn't cut it for me.
I echo the sentiments of some of the other reviewers..... definitely practice and get the hang of this before you start training your dog with it. Don't let the little fur beast hear you whistle until you are proficient.
BOTTOM LINE: I want to love the whistle, the sound is great. But for me, I couldn't get past the rancid metal taste. For some folks this wont be a problem, in which case this would be a 5 star item.
But it's so dang hard to use!! Maybe it's my face...my lips, my tongue that just don't get it. But I can't get my mouth parts to make it work.
I've even watched old men on youtube play all kinds of songs, give me tips on how to get it to work. One woman was very proficient and a young guy. I've seen all the videos!
But I get a squeak. And my dogs start to bark, and rightfully so, I'm sure it's annoying.
My family thinks it's annoying when I try to practice in the house too.
But if you can get it to work, I'm sure you'll like it very much!
I got this whistle because I adopted a border collie mix. She is an amazing dog, but is easily bored like many border collies. I don't have land or livestock, and I live in an apartment. So I have to mix things up to keep my dog on her feet and entertained. I got this so we could work on it with tricks both inside and out. I'm trying to work toward mastering the basic commands in different environments and then will start adding the whistle.
The sound is clean and clear. AND LOUD. You can't really practice with your friends around or at night.
