ACME Whistle Co.

Yes, folks, there is indeed such a company! But what slays me is the fact that the manager is, according to a conference programme that I’ve just received,…

Mr. Simon Topman, SME manager, ACME](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Whistles%3EACME) Whistle Ltd. !
(Cue thunderous applause).

I know that I work in a fairly macho, stagfight-rich environment, but the idea that the manager of this company should be called Mr Topman surely beats Banagher.

This gem of information was contained in a notice about the “Launch](http://network-conference-2008.eu/documents/programme.pdf%3ELaunch) event of the Enterprise Europe Network in Brussels, 6 and 7 February 2008”. If you’ve nothing else to do, come along! Be there, or be… Mr Middle-to-average-salaryman.

ACME caused quite a bump in the market when they purchased rival
Nadir Whistle Co., Mr. Afterguard proprietor.

I used an Acme whistle for quite a few years - until I switched to a Fox 40!
Good at loud venues with bouncing balls. Not particularly useful in sessions though.

When do we get to see tweaked acme whistles? :confused:

Is Wile E. Coyote still CEO?

Acme anvils are definitely much better than the cheapies, and worth every penny. But just try playing the Kesh Jig on this. Too much vibrato for ITM, I’d guess. I wonder if the brass is mellower? :slight_smile:

Should I go for one of those handmade expensive luxury Acme models in sterling silver, or will a cheapo suffice?
