Use the Gonia just for coaches. Blow it twice and they're "gonia".
I still got some Acme Thunderer metal whistles somewhere- both finger-tip and for a lanyard. Used 'em for football way back. Didn't like the tip guards though- used to put tape on the mouth piece. Those Acme whistles are almost indestructible.

I'm surprised many of you still remember the "Gonia" whistle! It's been about 25 years ago that they were popular. My dentist, who trains dogs as a hobby, suggested it because he felt it was better to use "plastic" whistles rather than metal. Better for front teeth care! Funny thing occurred when we left the game sight.....a dozen dogs were waiting at the gym exit when we left.
Regarding the "Thunderer".....except when the moisture from blowing it freezes up the little pea and it gives that long hooooot sound. Then you rip off a chunk of your lip pulling it from your mouth because the metal froze to your lip if you didn't have a tip guard or tape on it. Oh FUN!
