This is a great example of how a variable pitch whistle can sound. It's actually an "industrial strength" version of a child's slide whistle. Companies such as Lunkenheimer and Crane once made them. This type of whistle is quite rare today.
Awsome Video! Got to see what york looked like back in the day! I was only born in 1990 and to this day one thing i look forward to evrey christmas are those whistles!
20 years ive been alive! 20 years ive got to listen to this! I used to scared as a kid. Now...I close my eyes...And i just think...Tradition! I love christmas eve for this reason! Im actually searching the internet for it right now! Its september 8th 2010..And i heard them warming it up...Just like they do a week before christmas eve! I am wondering if they are just teaching some one, or actually warming up for a show on 9/11?
