I can't really speak for the Pearl, however I tried a Mini this year (basketball) and didn't like it too well. I could tell there was a different sound and that it probably could be drowned out, plus I didn't like the way it felt in my mouth. It's the Classic for me all the way.

tj1,
Have you tried the mini cmg? They are actually the same size as the old classic cmgs. The new classic cmg feels like a 2x4 in your mouth!

RnR,

I have not tried the mimi CMG. I tried a Mini as I said and I didn't like it. I never got to try the older Classic CMG, however it looks like it was smaller. That's my problem with the newer CMG, it's too big in my mouth for my liking. So I'm sticking with the Classic, in fact I had 4 CMG Classics and I traded all but one of them for Classics.

Classic all the way with either a smitty, noose, or a break-a-way lanyard!

The old CMGs were smaller.... and were very comfortable. I have an old one that I still use for every basketball game. I hope it lasts a long time. I have never had a whistle go bad yet, and I have a classic that I bought when they were still pretty new. It has to be 13-14 years old. I used it when I was coaching and it still sounds great. I wish they would go back tot he old size for the classic CMGs. I use the mini cmg exclusively for volleyball and I love them.
