Tell us something.: I have recently retired and have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument. I'm leaning to play the whistle and now the flute.

It is my understanding they were made years ago and bought out by Waltons who changed the name from Soodlums to Waltons.

See the second picture down in this link. Jerry Freeman used to tweak and sell some of them.

I have a Waltons C which is a great player, the head looks like that, green, with the numerous flat facets around the collar.
