It has rather large tone holes, which I am sure contributes to the volume, yet my smaller fingers can cover them without trouble. And, because the PVC walls are thick, the last tonehole is much closer to the fifth one than on a thinner-walled Bb. This whistle is tough, and can be easily separated to carry in two pieces. I keep mine rolled in a cloth napkin in my book bag at all times--it is always with me.
I am computer semi-literate so I can't post a photo (I just don't have time to learn all the neat stuff you guys can do)! Nor can I post a sound clip (Tommy might not thank me for posting one

But perhaps Tommy or another player can post one.
This whistle won't win any contests for looks because its gray PVC, but whistles are about beautiful bright sound, right? This whistle is finely finished and smoothed, ruthlessly in tune (including the cross-fingered C, 0XX000), and has a beautiful sound that carries across the landscape to delight all within hearing--unless they hate whistles!
If your money is tight and you're lusting after a whistle, check this one out!
I apologize for this sloppy, disorganized review, but I really think this whistle is an undiscovered gem that deserves attention.
And to the giver, THANKS AGAIN!
