Folk musicians in Brazil prefer to blow their own whistles.

Tell us something.: I moved, so I'm in a different city. Not in Texas anymore!!! Although if someone sees that I'm in NYC, maybe they'll know of local places that I can look for whistles.

We all know that it's not really the pitch of the whistle, but how well you play it! Right? :wink:

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: I'm not new here. I have been registered here for many years. I am not a spammer, though being from Hawaii, I do enjoy eating spam. Now the site is requiring at least 100 characters in this box. It would have been nice to know that bit of information before I hit submit the first time!

These whistles are characterized by a very breathy sound, and lots of backpressure.


Forgive me. :D

Their seem all right. :D

They also, for some strange reason, remind me of a joke...

Two women chat in a train. A man sits back of them, and overhears their conversation:
"You know, I heard that Native Americans are the best endowed men in the world...
-- Well, I heard that too, but also that, if Bretons may concede on pitch, they gain on bore"

The guy gets up, bows and with his best smile says:
"Hello, may I introduce myself? Geronimo Le Gloërzanec..."

PS: Seriously, these are interesting, er, winds. With a window and blade of sorts, but no fipple.

Curiously, all three contrabass players had forgotten their bocals.
