Popular whistles for travelling! The tone ring allows for volume control for quiet practice sessions!
Prices in Canadian funds.
Carey Parks whistles are becoming very popular due to the fact that they are virtually indestructable, easy to play, lightweight, and are designed with a tone ring for built in volume control. You CAN be quiet when you practice your whistle indoors! They are made of polymer, can be thrown in the dishwasher (just remember to turn off the heat dry cycle!), are fully fine tuneable, and will travel anywhere. Each whistle is numbered.

Extra Information from Carey Parks:
The tone ring on the "Every" line of whistles allows you to strengthen the notes in the lower octave by placing it such that it forms sides on the sound window. To favor the upper register more, push the ring down away from the mouthpiece.
Something else the tone ring allows you to do is muffle the whistle so you can practice without disturbing other people
By turning the tone ring to either side and just leaving a quarter or less of the window exposed you can play both octaves and not raise a ruckus. This also helps preserve your hearing. It won't teach you how to blow the notes into tune, but it is very close to proper playing. You can practice breathing and supporting the high notes this way too. But, changing the window, alters the tuning and you will have to sharpen the whistle as you close the tone ring to stay in tune with other players.
