A tin whistle is a simple, nonmagical whistle. You can apply it to wake nearby monsters from sleep[1]. If your pet is close enough to here the noise, then for the next few turns it will try to approach you more closely[2].
Because there is no specific material for tin, the game considers tin whistles to be made of generic metal.
Messages
- You produce a high whistling sound.
- You applied an uncursed or blessed tin whistle.
- You produce a shrill whistling sound.
- You applied a cursed tin whistle. Though the message is different, the whistle still has the same effect.
Strategy
Apply any unidentified whistle; if the messages do not match those above, then you have a magic whistle.
If you are a Knight, then you could apply a tin whistle to wake a sleeping monster before you attack it, so you do not violate your code of conduct.
Otherwise, the best use of tin whistles is with pets. Apply a tin whistle repeatedly until your pet comes to you; this can sometimes help you take pets through stairs or out of shops. If you find a magic whistle, then leave your tin whistle in a stash somewhere. Magic whistles are better because your pets immediately appear beside you and other monsters do not awake.
