## Description

Product description Mil-Tec by Sturm Nickel Plated Boatswain Whistle Bosnian whistle made of nickel-plated copper with anti-corrosion properties For easy carrying and storage, the whistle uses an O-Ring that allows the whistle to be hooked up. A boatswain's call, pipe or bosun's whistle is a pipe or a non-diaphragm type whistle used on naval ships by a boatswain. It is pronounced, and sometimes spelled, "bosun's call". The pipe consists of a narrow tube (the gun) which directs air over a metal sphere (the buoy) with a hole in the top. The player opens and closes the hand over the hole to change the pitch. The rest of the pipe consists of a "keel", a flat piece of metal beneath the gun that holds the call together, and the "shackle", a keyring that connects a long silver or brass chain that sits around the collar, when in ceremonial uniform. Nickel-Plated O-Ring easy hook Brand-New, Unused, Unopened Used in traditional bugle calls such as Evening Colors/Sunset Used to pass commands to the crew when the voice could not be heard over the sounds of the sea. In 1995, Sturm developed its own brand of tactical and outdoor products called MIL-TEC. With our experience and expertise in the military, tactical, and outdoor industry MIL-TEC has grown to several thousand products and is sold worldwide. With the introduction of the MIL-TEC brand, we have succeeded in developing a constantly growing range of practical and functional outdoor clothing and equipment, which is characterized by high quality at a good cost-performance ratio.

Review: Great Item For The Price, But Watch For Fakes - I have purchased several Mil-Tec Sturm Nickel Plated Boatswain whistles over the last year on desertcart. 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 desertcart. 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 desertcart who were recommended as "desertcart'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.
Review: It did work better after I took steps to “tune” it. - I used this for a production of THE TEMPEST as I was playing the Boatswain ( Boson) I went on line and learned how to “tune” my whistle. It’s as pretty as Jewlery and it super loud. My husband won’t allow me to blow it inside. After some practice I can make the pitch change. It worked great for the storm scene.
