A stunning hand crafted working Shepherds whistle made from genuine New Zealand Pounamu
These pounamu whistles won’t bend or buckle over time like metal or plastic and produce clear, high frequency tones that are easy to modulate and vary the pitch. This allows the shepherd to communicate many different commands to his dogs giving precise instructions using only the whistle. The frequency is at optimal pitch for the dog’s hearing and allows to sound to penetrate through adverse weather and long distance when rounding sheep.
The perfect gift for anyone working with dogs and the bonus of looking like a pendant off the farm.
Kawakawa - is the most common variety of Pounamu. it comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
