The same thing in the clarinet world, the Hameln "pocket clarinet":

I've only heard one played once, and its sound seemed a good bit weaker than my Sans chalumeau at the same pitch (which has a normal squared-off end).

No way they'd be letting someone on a plane with that pointy little fella unless it were well packed away in the checked luggage. Reminds me of a hypodermic needle.

No. Ya do what they do in the filums: use a biro. Very forcefully. It works for them.

Why? Do you think it offers a bigger aperture? :really:

And what angle is that, precisely?

ah, I suppose Benny would require a bigger aperture than some :-?
