Just got back from a terrific honeymoon at Club Med in Cancun Mexico ( HIGHLY recommended). On an excursion to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, we stopped into a small village to do some shopping. In one handcrafts shop, I came across a very interesting whistle. It was made of ceramic, and shaped, well, how can I put this… like an erect penis! I am not making this up! Complete with all accessories, so to speak. I would post a review, but I could not bring myself to try it…
Ya know, sometimes I just…
I mean, the possibilities are…
I mean. Oh, forget it! I leave it to Bloomfield and others to toot on this one…
TOO FUNNY PAUL!
I do have an Ab Andean whistle that was a steal for $3 at an import store but its shaped like, well, a whistle.
HA!

Paul, an object in decidedly “iffy” taste. If sold near Dublin’s “tart with the cart” and “floozie in the jacuzzi” it would doubtless be dubbed an “iffy Liffey chiffy stiffy”.
When I was a music major, I was told I should always stand up when playing.
I’m not quite sure that this is what they meant though!!!

See folks! Wait till more get home from weekend fun to “work” and see this thread!
I’m still…well…too modest/repressed… to go THERE! HA! Stevie’s leading so far with chiffy iffy whatevah…That was a 10.
I just got in from church. All I’ll say at this point is that the Mexican whistle in question is one I wouldn’t want to play in church–or otherwise.
Paul, I hope this hasn’t given you any thoughts about expanding your product line to include…errrr…exotic wooden mexican whistles.

Geez, Walden. Ya think? Guess I won’t be bringin one to meetin’ either, now, just because you said so! (:
Hey, for all we know, its a sacred object (snort)…to somebody..

Not to worry!!! I do use some exotic Mexican woods ( Cocobolo, Bocote), but do NOT make them in exotic shapes…
BTW-- I forgot to mention that these unique whistles ranged quite widely in size from pequeno to muy grande!!
This also reminds me-- I was thinking of making myself a T-shirt with a pic of my whistles and the title “Get some wood”-- is this in too bad taste?
I’ll try to post a picture of my “G-Spot” concertina here.

Are you sure that was actually a whistle and not a pink oboe?
I remember this one time in Bandcamp…
Oh, and I always thought those ruins were called Chicken Pizza, but I was never very good with placenames
Whistle is My Weapon of Choice

No, to be more precise, it was truly a skin flute!!
[rimshot] ba-dum-bum.
Oh come on, folks, you knew somebody somewhere was eventually going to make one of those…
(And I thought I got a lot of phallus/dildo related jokes from my friends about my whistles…)
heh heh heh…vaporlock said “expanding”…heh heh heh
Instead of “unique”, shouldn’t that read “outstanding” Mexican whistle?

I’ve always thought of myself as an upstanding member of this board.
A pillar of the community if you will.
So can I get me one of these special whistles on the 'net, and two orders of Chicken Pizza, to go?

Hey, Martin, shouldn’t you be saying “two orders of Chicken Pizza, to take away”? Or are translating yourself for the benefit of your North American audience?
On the subject of exotic whistles, I sure think it would be convenient to have one that shrinks when you don’t need it.
Funny how none of our women contributors have seen fit to say anything about this silly male preoccupation. (But I bet they’re all reading!)
I’m also surprised that nobody has pointed out that this kind of whistle should be hard to play.
