>>The type of whistle that I use is the tried and true Acme Thunderer. Model 58.5. When i started refereeing i was shown the best way to blow the whistle by Jack Harris. Not only was he very good at blowing it himself, but also a good teacher. I hold my whistle between my thumb and index finger, the tone is achieved by tilting the whistle up and down allowing the air outlet to be partially blocked to vary the tone. Jack told me that when you did this you had to be careful not to Choke it by blocking it for a long period when blowing it.

I have heard and read about the boiling of the whistle etc, I can say that I dont do that, I just make sure that I keep it clean after every game and generally change them over after every season.

I dont claim to be an expert, but I hope this helps.
