Thanks for the replies

I think what Chuck calls hockey tape the rest of the world might call plain old black electric tape.

No, no. I mean the stuff that ice hockey players wrap around the blade of their sticks. You get it at any sporting goods store that sells hockey equipment. Not electrical tape, too slippery. Yuck.

I think I speak for all of us when I say "Whew, I'm glad you settled that for us. We were all pretty worried"

I wasn't worried at all . . . until I realized he'd actually been contemplating it!

I'm finding a separate cabin at camp next August!

Not you in particular, it's just a general policy of mine.

I'm a long time CMG fan. Yes, they begin to "fray" a little after the first month, but that's good. It just helps them fit better. I have one I've used for four years and it's still my favorite. They do feel like having a 2x4 in your mouth at first, but they do wear down pretty quickly and feel good.

Don't forget, the first CMGs they produced are different from the ones they are putting out now.

How so? I got my first one a couple of years ago. I've not noticed any fraying.

~~Having trouble finding an old picture, however if you have a Honig's catalog, look on page 3 at the CMG.~~ (Edit: I found the older one) Here they are:

I wasn't saying the quality went down, I was just saying they got a little bigger.

I am a big fan of the CMG because I chew the heck out of my whistles. The newer ones are much better than the older ones in their design. They do fray, and I highly recommend soaking them in Listerine over night every week or two cause once the cushioning starts to separate from the whistle, spit gets in there and it can get nasty. Plus, I always enjoy the taste of a minty fresh whistle!

refnrev · #28 (**permalink**) Thu Mar 24, 2005, 03:18pm

I didn't realize that they changed the size. I thought it was due to the fact that my other one was older and some of the cushioning had frayed. Still, I can't help but belive that night in and night out a CMG will still feel better than the hard plastic. Time will tell. I just ordered a Mini CMG to try for volleyball. I'm interested to see what it feels and sounds like.
