Hello,
I have started to umpire AFL games over here in the States. I bought an ACME Thunderer off Amazon, as suggested. It turned out to be the Model # 477/60.5. It's loud as ****, so it does the job, but it is a higher pitch than I'm used to in AFL. I love that deeper tone of the AFL whistle.
Can someone tell me please the exact model used in the AFL? And do umpires typically use a plastic or metal whistle? Finally, any shops/links that sell them in the US would be much appreciated.
