which dog whistle?

i have been looking at the dog whistles to teach recall but can not decide which one is best or even if there is much difference between them.
i do not want a silent one as i want to know when ive blown it and what it sounds like
i have been looking at the acme one and the clix multi purpose one
has anyone used either of these or any others?

I have 3 whistles - an Acme 210.5 gundog whistle, the metal Clix one and a shepherds whistle. My plan was to use one for each dog but I just use the gundog whistle but blow it differently.

I'd go with the Acme cos it's really easy to blow. I find the Clix whistle sounds terrible plus it's difficult to get any different tones through it.

I've got the Acme 211.5 whistle for my spaniel and lab.
I find it so easy to use!

I`ve got the acme 210. The sound carries really well.

You can get Acme whistles in some different colours too, I've got a pink one, and I've seen someone with an orange one!

Ooh yes - I`ve fluorescent orange to stop me losing it and it`s attached with a lanyard to my dog-walking bag so I don`t forget it.

We just got an acme one which is great. Also if we lose it we know we can get another one that sounds exactly the same!

the colours sounds nice we have now bought a black acme 211.5

yes good about being able to buy another especially with the numbers on the whistle so you can get the same pitch
