Dolphin Whistle, located in Key West, Florida, is the brainchild of artist and musician Steve Allerton. This unique jewelry object doubles as a musical instrument and a sublime sculpture, aiming to facilitate interspecies communication in a poetic sense. By blowing gently into the rostrum mouth of the dolphin-shaped whistle, tones resembling those of the bottlenose dolphin can be produced, offering a sense of well-being and harmony to anyone holding, wearing, or playing this instrument.
Steve Allerton's journey to creating the Dolphin Whistle began in the late 1970s when he embarked on a seven-year voyage from upstate New York to Key West, encountering dolphins along the way. Drawing on his skills as a jeweler and his knowledge of musical instruments, Steve developed prototypes of the whistle, which were initially made of silver and gold. Over the years, he refined the design, resulting in comfortable and reasonably priced whistles that produce beautiful tones, allowing users to call out to all creatures, including dolphins.
