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.
