Smell and fumes still make me physically sick
First off, the product looks and sounds great. The first time I picked it up, I figured it would be a five star product. But then came the smell and fumes.<br />I noticed the smell initially but figured it would dissipate quickly. I was wrong. The smell of paint or lacquer--something like that--is so strong that the smell lingers in a room long after the product is removed. Being in a room with that product is enough to get a strong dose. I was lightheaded within 5 minutes and the feeling stayed for a good hour. The headache that accompanied it lingered for far longer.<br />So I tried to correct the problem. I hung out up in the garage with a fan locked on high one foot in front of it, and I left it like that all weekend. The garage was pungent until Wednesday. But that did eventually fade. However, now, if I so much as blow on the product once, even though the sound is AMAZING, the lightheaded feeling returns. So as a whistle, it is useless to me. I can't even display it anywhere besides my garage without the room itself carrying the smell and inducing a headache and lightheadedness.<br />I would recommend the product if it didn't make me physically sick, but I can't. I deeply regret this purchase.<br />The product was crafted very skillfully and for this reason alone I give it two stars instead of one. I still recommend against buying it though.
