Acme 576 Shepherds Lip Whisle

Loud and clear once you master the embouchure required to make this little guy work. Lots of fun.

Great whistle. Pretty east to use. Kind hard to clean

Seriously, this thing is a real pain to use. I'd honestly just shell out the extra cash for the metal version if I were you. Unless you've got a ton of experience with this kind of stuff, it might just end up frustrating you. Save yourself the headache and go for the better option right away. Trust me, it's not worth the struggle.

the price is great the ease of use is poor the sound quality is moderate. I've used nearly a dozen makes, models, and brands of sheep dog whistles over the past 5 years as i've really gotten into the sport and i would compare this whistle to a $10,000 Hyundai... yes it will get the job done... but just wait until you try out the new Mercedes AMG!! Although more challenging, i feel as though it is nice to learn on a cheap whistle as it forces your mouth to work with more precision. also, if you get overwhelmingly frustrated and give up your only out a few dollars. That being said, I have a half dozen of these little things in my jacket pockets and around the house just incase i can't find my Logan A1 whistle, but the Acme is by no means my primary choice.

Takes a minute to learn without drooling all over yourself. Once you get it you might drive every one nuts because it's so much fun for those who can't whistle

There's a bit of a trick to using this whistle, but even after you figure it out you have to mess with it each time you use it. I have one of these from decades ago that's made of heavier plastic and it works great every time and without a struggle. For what it probably costs them to produce this little piece of plastic, it would only be worth the price if it worked easily and consistently.

High quality whistle, genuine ACME.

At first I thought it was defective but I did get it to sound after a lot of trying. It’s difficult to do on demand. Even after you have figured it out, it takes a half dozen tries to do it. Also your breath condensates in it. Spit starts to rattle around in there making it even hard to use and sounding gross. It’s more like a little mouth flute than a “whistle”. I am a very non-musical person and learning to use this thing is probably on par with learning to play a musical instrument. I think it is probably fantastic for the right person, but for someone like me it’s a agonizing chore, and I probably will never be successful without lessons. If you aren’t patient and skilled with auditory learning, get yourself a normal whistle!

I've been using these for a few years now. It's a skill that, once learned, you'll never lose. Very loud whistle for little effort - border collie respond well to it over a great distance

Good little whistle to get the sheep in with the dog!

Hey I don't know if this is regular but mine tarnished right away. Wonder if anyone else has had this problem or if it's a one off. 🤔 Fun whistle once you get the hang of it but it needs adjusting to make it loud loud loud. But not too much or it doesn't work. 1 year later: i lost thst one, ordered anotber and it's fun.....and LOUD AF once you master it... mine i find the best way to have a consistent loud first whistle is to spit just prior to.puttung it in, and you'll be a pro.....swallowing doesn't work....I tried It's pretty easy to.coat it in nickel if you want, YouTube and it gets rid of the brass taste.... just make sure you have all your adjusting done to the loudest possible whistle that you can make out of it. I find when it's a non-even bent it's even louder

Muy bueno! Es pequeño, pero suena super fuerte. Es de plástico, espero que dure... Quería el de metal que aparte es más grande y parece tener mayor apertura, entonces supongo que más rangos de sonido, pero no aplica con Prime y estaba muy caro el envío 😅. Tardé unos 2 minutos en agarrarle la onda (PERO antes de que llegara mi silbato, vi un video en YouTube de cómo usarlo 😁), aún me falta practicar un poco para colocarlo más rápido y empezar a silbar de inmediato.

It's a sheep whistle i can use it but my friends can't use it
