The Acme orchestral siren was originally a ‘cyclist’s road clearer’ in the 1880s but now has a variety of applications, such as in marine signalling and orchestral works. This quality whistle projects with an unmistakable sound and would make a great addition to any percussionist’s kit bag. Crafted with precision and care, the orchestral siren is a reliable instrument which still proves popular today.
With a whoosh of vibrant sound, this whistle is the only one that sings on, even when the blowing has stopped!
To this day Acme whistles are manufactured in Birmingham using the original techniques and machinery from the 1800s. Outstanding craftsmanship and strict quality testing ensure every whistle is of the highest standard.
