After I voted, I see that I am the only one that is using the new Dolfin and will continue to use it.

I like the sound and is a more comfortable fit that the Fox40. I am using the actual Dolfin and not the one made by Fox.

Since I didn't officiate and MichiganHSAA girls' games this year due to a stress fracture, I wasn't able to use it until the normal basketball season started and I liked it from the beginning.

I'm getting two dolphins from japan (scince you can't get them here) I right now use the pea whistle but I need something louder. And yeah the look isn't astonishing (that's probably spelled wrong ) but I've heard it and I like the sound of it, and I've never liked the Fox 40 and that's what they sell here, so I'm getting the dolphin. And I'm looking forward to using it as soon as the mail comes withi it

I have used a Fox since I started (3 years ago). I did buy a Dolfin and have used it. It definitely has a different tone, but I don't think it's any louder than a Fox. I prefer the Fox, but I carry the Dolfin in my bag. I will probably use it in AAU tournaments that are in places with more than one court (especially if my partner has one) because it might make it easier for the players to distinguish our whistles and not be confused by one coming from a neighboring court.

A guy in my chapter decided to switch to the Dolphin this past year. When I asked him why he said that it's louder and therefore makes him stand out more when he blows the whistle....oy vey.
