Mitch, you disappoint me... I don't see Stick in that picture..

[Mitch]

... I don't see Stick in that picture..

Oh yes! Stick is there! He's in the top left corner loitering with some of the taller swarthy individuals - (as he says - "away from the hoi-palloy"). Lately, he's become somewhat recluse and confines himself to his cabana in the rafters. I presume he's just resting from the whiplash he recieved last-week when one of the crew snapped his head off. He'll be back out baiting the paparazzi when the glue dries and he finaly decides which of his grotesquely guache neck scarves is suitably news-worthy.

Your "unknown" brass D whistle appears to me to be an old model Feadog.

Peter, that thing is awsome. It looks like a Shaw whistle snuck backstage with a concert Flute and was very naughty indeed.

[Bothrops]

OMG! I want one!

[Cayden]

It's an 1890s or thereabouts one in D six keys and lovely. While I have several whistles by the same maker this is the only six keyed whistle I have ever come across.
