Another whistle problem:
I bought this Kettle (Stainless version) as a gift for my girlfriend. We love the looks of this model. The handle is and spout action is comfortable. The problem is the whistle; it usually doesn't.

GREAT DESIGN:
A present for my wife, this is a GREAT design. It is easy to hold and VERY easy to pour. Wife happy, me happy. The first time you hear the low pitch of the whistle is a "what the heck is that?" experience, but a nice change from the screaming "pfffweeeeet" of the usual pot.
