Other uses for brass? Arts and crafts?

[Safetychain]

There is a couple here in Charleston that, among other items, makes brass buttons for shirts. The head stamps make them obvious as to what they are. Really nice looking.

"Putting a whistle made with lead in your mouth....not a good idea."

This abstract about lead exposure may be of interest to shooters and especially hunters.

Hot melted a turkey beard into the cut-off brass from the shell that killed it. The primer was drilled out and replaced with a small screw-in eye. It's hanging from the rear view mirror in my truck.

How is the sound from the whistles?

I'm a football coach, does it compare to a regular type I currently use?

The sound out of the whistles is a high pitched screech sound. I had them tested buy a local fella that tests his suppressors and he reported them to be 110 decibels.
