YOU HAVE HEARD a duck call, a bird whistle, and a dog whistle. Now there is the Dolphin Whistle. This new item crosses the line between a musical instrument and a piece of jewelry. Made in sterling and 14-karat gold, it comes with a silk cord and can be worn as a pendant. By blowing gently into its beak, the whistle produces the call of the Dolphin.

(It imitates the mating call of the Bottlenose Dolphin, but it has been known to work on human beings, as well.)

People who live near the ocean have attempted to attract the attention of Dolphins for ages. The Polynesians fashioned a reed instrument with which to call out. The aborigines would rub certain sticks under water to draw their attention. The Dolphin Whistle is a "New Age" attempt at interspecies communication.

The device was invented in Key West, Florida, by Sailboat Captain Steven Allerton. Inspired by the occasional encounters he has had, Allerton made the whistle in an attempt to communicate with the playful creatures. It sells for $85 in sterling and $650 in 14-karat.
