There's also some odd type of sideblown whistle by a different seller:

Anyone know what that is?

Re: odd type of side-blown whistle.

Avanutria -
Whistle Shop sells a Melody Flute too, looks to be similar:

Maybe we should tell Mr. Chrisculp (seller) to post directly to the board, save him some fees! hehe

Re: side blown flute.....my daughter bought one of these on Ebay for me.... from the Melody Flute Co...C but no number on it. I can't remember what she paid. I looked at the picture from the Whistle Shop and it looks like the mouth piece is removable. Not sure I understand about the position of the flute in relationship to the sound. What other way is there to hold it but like a flute? Gm

The website indicated a few posts back said to hold it like a whistle and play out the side of your mouth, but that seems kind of silly to me.

You not only look stupid....you feel stupid playing it that way. One would automatically hold it like a flute I think. Sounds much better but still on the breathy side (chiffy)
into the 2nd octave. Needless to say, I haven't spent a whole lot of time with it but a nice addition to the collection. Gm
