Here is what was posted on the original thread -
MCBear: I prefer the Fox 40 Pearl, the Extreme, and the Molten WH.
Homer: I've a Fox 40 Pearl and a Mini-40 and use them pretty much interchangeably with no problems.
FMadera: I have an Acme Tornado, a Fox 40/Mini/Pearl, and the Mikasa clear whistle. The Tornado is not nearly loud enough for my liking, but the Foxes and the Mikasa all perform to my liking.
TimTaylor: I officiate both basketball and volleyball, and use both the Fox Classic 40-CMG and Mini-CMG. Both seem to work just fine & I have never had a problem being heard with either, but I've been told that my whistle definitely is on the loud side....
The Classic is noticeably louder, and for basketball in a loud, crowded gym it's what I prefer, but aside from those situations I mostly use the Mini - probably 75% of the time. The Mini is more comfortable for me, and my whistle of choice for volleyball.
There you have it, refnrev, the posts from your original post "whistles - opinion time" with the last post on March 14th. Good luck as you check out the various whistles.
