The ones I've seen at Honig's and the other places have a Fox40 logo on top of the whistle. So, that's my guess... not sure though.

It's actually made by a Japanese company called Molten. The reason for the Fox 40 logo is that they are distributed in North America by Fox 40

I got one just to try it out a couple of weeks ago. The Dolphin has a slightly different sound and like was said in another reply, it is not as "airy" as the Fox 40. I have noticed that I do not have to give it as much air as the Fox 40. As for a preference of one over the other, I have none.

Thanks. I figured that was probably the case, although I wasn't one-hundred percent sure.
