The three hand-polished pipes of this beautiful whistle set just the tone for the Chattanooga Choo Choo or The Last Train to Clarksville. This traditional model has been part of the percussionists essential kit since early 1900s. Also known as the Locomotive Whistle which originated, so the story goes, on the Leicester and Swannington Railway line.
About Acme
Always original.
A five-generation iconic British business, born of two of the truly most recogniseasble sounds in the world. The 1880 Acme Metropolitan, the London “Bobby’s” original and supremely innovative police emergency response whistle, and the Acme Thunderer: the original “Sound of Football” and choice of referees since the 1800’s, from local leagues to the very top echelons of The Beautiful Game, across the planet.
Acme also craft beautifully made whistles and calls for a plethora of musical and theatrical applications, which you’ll’ve heard so many times, in so many places, in so much music, but probably never even realised. No digital samples, real analogue Acme.
