NZ Greenstone Shepherd's Whistle Pendant - 32mm

NZ Greenstone Shepherd's Whistle Pendant.

A shepherd’s whistle is used predominantly by the farmer to communicate commands to his sheepdogs and is often seen at sheepdog trials.

This pounamu whistle 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.

Size Approx 32 H x 42 W x 6mm D.
