Wooden Slide Whistle - Classic Kids Instrument - All Wood Construction, Durable, Musical Toy for Children - Ages 3 and Up - One Whistle

When my kids asked for a "slide whistle", I had no idea what it was. Luckily, Santa knew what one was and pointed me to the internet... As it turns out, the sudden desire for a slide whistle stems from a SpongeBob episode... So with that in mind, I was none too thrilled to have to track it down for Christmas! I did, though, and tucked it into the kid's stockings. Imagine my surprise when the kids have spent about 5.5 hours so far running around the house playing with their little slide whistle! First of all, it is not the loud, shrill sound of a typical whistle (think sports games -- NOT like that). It has a nice, harmonious sound. While the kids can make a loud blow into it and thus increase the volume, that seems to take a lot of effort and does not happen too often. I am pleasantly surprised how, in this high-tech era, the kids have gotten so much enjoyment out of a non-electronic device! Thank you SpongeBob for the slide whistle idea!

Got this as a stocking stuffer for my son...he was able to make it work with the first blow. He doesn't work the adjuster while he blows -he is very short winded... but he loves sliding the adjuster back and forth when he isn't playing it. The only thing I don't like about this wwhistle is when the rod is completely extended, the whistle sound diminishes and you just hear air rushing through a gap too large. Its a great first whistle, no paint to wear off, simple and functional for a small child.

Great product. You have to blow hard to get it to sound good though, which can be annoying. So...warning if this is for a kid. It works well, it's fun, nice material.

It keeps a young child entertained for a while, but it has less range than some others out there. The sounds are somewhat mute and it takes a good amount of air to get good sound. It's a decent toy for the price, but if you want your child to appreciate sound and tone more, I think a penny whistle would be a better way to go. Just looking for a fun way to introduce musical sounds to a 3-5 year old at an affordable price? This may be for you.

This is an excellent beginner musical instrument. I recently purchased it for my one year old baby. I wasn't sure if she'd know what to do with it, but to my surprise she started whistling with it after a few tries. She also pulls the slide back and forth (which makes its own sound, even without air being blown through). I'm sure at some point she'll figure out to combine the two. For now, she's really enjoying hearing the sounds come out. No complaints at all.

Fantastic product! Grandkids love it

No one is recreating Mozart on this thing, but it is sturdy, easy to use, and perfect for small moderately-dexterous people who love to hear and make "schoooop" sounds. Have you no heart? Buy this for them!

my father in law sent my 3 year old an amazon giftcard. after looking at many many mannny things on here he decided on this whistle and a stuffed cat. For the price and our intended purpose (entertaining a little kid) this whistle is great. Not too loud, pretty sturdy. If you wanted this whistle to actually play musically, I wouldn't recommend it. But as a toy it's just fine.

I bought this for her son for his birthday four years ago. He still uses it LOL and entertains her little one with his beautiful music. Sturdy and strong kid proof so far

Should not have bought this for my own son. Maybe a nephew. Very nice product, but can be a little loud.

I bought this mostly to be funny, but the quality of the product is actually pretty good! The sound isn't TOO piercing either, which is a blessing to our household believe me.

I bought this whistle as a gift thinking it would be great because it's made from wood. The person I bought it for told me it doesn't work very well, and it's too short. He felt it may have worked better if it was a little longer and the cheap plastic one I bought him works way better. We were both disappointed and would not really recommend. On a positive note it's better made then the cheap plastic ones and will probably last longer. Recommend for a younger child. This is why I gave it a 3 rating.

I gave this to a young girl in the Caribbean. Days later she was still playing with great enjoyment. I don't know who was happier; her from playing or me from watching. Fun toy!
