I started using the American Classic a few seasons ago (its made in the USA and you can get it through Honig's). Its a metal whistle that has a rubber pea that seems to prevent sticking. After every game I clean it with Listerine and an old tooth brush. I put a white tip guard on the mouth-piece and keep an extra one in my pocket. It has a nice tone lower than the Fox 40. I use it with a neck lanyard. I think its perfect for high school football crowd sizes.

I also have a Fox 40 finger whistle but I don't use it much. However, if I was in a big stadium I would probably go with the Fox 40 on a neck lanyard with cushioned mouth guard.
I know a HL that uses the American classic and I would have problems hearing him blow the whistle from only 10 yards away. I'll stick to my Fox 40.
