I have both of the Primos 6-in-1 whistle models and a few of Gardner's version and suspect most folks wouldn't find the few dollars worth of difference between them. But the little hard plastic standard-size Primos 6-in-1 I found behind a levee plow (along with a wrecked DR-85 and a Faulk-squeakered Big River speck call that should have been) bumped the Haydel MP-90 I liked better than Duck Commander and Gardner's 6-in-1s and led me to the louder Primos Power Drake I hunt with.
I'm hooked on the crispness of Primos's harder polymer, which many, if not most, others might not even notice. To my ear, the only sound in nature that can compete with the quiet small talk of a bob white covey is the ringing whistle chorus of a mess of drake green-wings. And the Power Drakes lets me come as close to that as I know how while advertising our location in the fog or dim light of LST, which are about the only times I still use a 6-in-1 whistle.
But I keep Buck Gardner 6-in-1s (which are the cheapest of their kind) and lanyards in the blind to give to the kids passing through it who are still too young to shoot, so they can "help me call" and be part of the hunt without much hurting our chances:
