Aside from the self-grown, and the afore-mentioned blade of grass, I’ve used acorn caps. What else do people use to make a shrieky whistle?
The best of all: a Generation high G.
Out of inspiration & curiousity, I looked up avanutria in the dictionary and I was not surprised when it turned up these results…
Cheers Beth. A good laugh is definately needed after all the strife…
just my opinion but that new-old-school whistle is just a bit breathy for my taste. Maybe try making the window a little smaller? I dunno, I’m just a rookie LoL

When I was 12 years old, I lived on the isle of Mindanao, and they used to make a little horn from a coconut leaf that functioned on the blade-of-grass principle.

Your. Title. IS. Miz. Leading:
You built an Ocarina. I detain substantial proof the instrument you thusly built is a Hemholz resonator.
In Avanutria’s defense, I submit the definition of ocarina, from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, " a simple wind instrument typically having an oval body with finger holes and a projecting mouthpiece." Clearly, the lack of holes in the fingers of this whistle preclude its being classified as an ocarina.
No holes. A couple of freckles, I think, but nothing that affects the sound.
Iremember reading about someone making a flute from a CARROT.Don’t know if it was organic or not! 
WOW! I can just see me turning up to the allotment in that costume!

Oh yeah, right, Walden, like we’re really gonna believe something that outlandish…that you were ever 12 years old, I mean.
