Description
A Boatswain's whistle or also known as a 'bosun' or pipe whistle, is historically a naval tool. This is because it carries further than a voice over the noise of the sea. Traditionally it was used to give orders, bugle calls and ceremonies.
To use it simply blow into the end. The air is directed down the pipe and over the metal sphere. You can open and close your hand over the hole to change the pitch. The whistle comes with a key-ring that you can attach a lanyard to.
Mil-Tec has made a faithful reproduction of the Boatswain whistle. These would be ideal for any young sea scout, emergency kits or even to make calls to others in the bush.

- MHMichaela H.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsYesterdayCould be better
A cool whistle, which does come with wax already in it which makes a difference, but doesn't come with any instructions on how to use or tune the whistle correctly. I did have to google this, but other than that, the product is reasonably priced.

Really good packaging sounds great whatever anyone else says you can find videos and charts on how to use it online
- EMEliot M.Rated 2 out of 5 stars3 years agoPoor design and no instructions
Didn't come with any instructions for use. Even after watching numerous videos on the method, I could not get a decent whistle out of this. Further investigation makes it look like this is because the whistle itself is poorly made - with too much space between the windpipe and the bowl. Apparently you can fix it by melting candle wax and letting it cool in the bowl (effectively reducing the gap) but I haven't tried this and don't think it should be necessary.
