Beginning life as the ‘Cyclists Road Clearer’ in the 1880s, this amazing sound effect is now part of every percussionist’s kitbag. A real whoosh of sound, the only whistle that sings on, even when the blowing has stopped!

The nostalgic sound of the seaside estuary where the busy Tugboats haul their loads capturing the hearts and minds of generations with a cheerful ‘toot’.

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.
