It woke me up.
What a great find!
If you're a fan of Narnia and a whistler, you MUST see this!
First I encourage you to turn to the book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", chapter two. You find this Faun, named Mr. Tumnus, who, although under the Witch's order to report any humans caught, having met Lucy under a lamppost, invites her to his house for a tea.
Of course in a story you can only imagine the tune. In the video, unfortunately, the imagination gets killed in a sense that it's 'perfected', and thus breeds the dangers of possible whistle idolatr......oops, where was I ? Oh yes, in the video, you can clearly see that the instrument Tumnus is playing has a striking resemblance to that of whistles. I'm sure it's not exactly a "flute", as mentioned in Jack's book, because it has a mouthpiece and windway (namely, they're equipped with fipples). It 's a V-shaped conical double whistle with relatively big bells, plays in the key of A, and one body (to the left) drones A while the other carries the tune (air, I suppose), something like this;....then to cheer himself up he took out from its case on the dresser a strange little flute that looked as if it were made of straw, and began to play....

Although the tune lasts for about 15 seconds or so, it was beautiful. To my ears it sounded somewhere miday between a whistle and a re***der.
