Wanna be the most popular nerd in the cubes?
Holy crap. An octave above a high D whistle…
…Puts a whole new meaning to the idea of a “professional” whistle.
Somehow I’m finding myself wanting one.
Yes, somehow I am finding myself wanting one too..
Shut up WhOA, you know my fingers are way too big for one of those.
Looks like it’d be a real bear to play with any ease, though:
Can’t say I care for the tonehole positioning.
Probably works for shooting poison darts, too. (Another valuable office skill).
Dude. You need to learn to fire stuff out of a flute. It’s a valuable session skill.
Interesting Huxley quote, Nano. Was that before or after he opened the doors of perception?
Yeah, flute wins on caliber, but whistle has it for stealth.
I honestly don’t know. Just found it floating around on the Web, and I thought, Yeah, Huxley. I need to meditate on it; it’s probably more profound than it looks.
Each has its purposes. Functionally, a whistle is probably more reliable; flute can be tricky, but when you can get a peanut to sail, look out.
Anyone know James Taguay, the maker? A google search reveals several anthologies of flute/whistle music by someone with that name, but no other whistles. Man that little thing is cute!
Someone posted an eBay listing earlier where he was offering up a replica ancient-style bone whistle made from a sheep’s leg and based on an achaeological find. Seems he’s into arcane specialties.
Ok, I have a feeling that only certain species of dogs can hear the second octave on this thing.
I already got one and it plays in regular D.
50 bucks and its yours.
I’ll even throw in a refill.
Gosh Aanvil, your hand is really small!!!
Aanvil, does it play, even half decently?
That thing can’t possibly be a soprano d . . .
Oh you guys.. I also have the Brooklyn Bridge and some oil rich swampland in Florida for sale.
Thats just my old D Fedoggy with a black Sharpie stuff up its snoot!
I’ll still sell it for 50 if anyone wants it. Its tweeked good.
I knew that.
And that wasn’t its snoot, either, ye dairty f*…oops.

I already got one and it plays in regular D.
50 bucks and its yours.
I’ll even throw in a refill.
Yeah, you got me Aanvil. It was that reflection on the upper part that sold me.
I’ll bet you could sell that thing on eBay, but you’re ratings would be shot to…
Uh-oh. Now I see that I’ve got one on my desk, too! They must be like rabbits.
