That mouthpiece looks like something one might find in a toilet tank...

I think a fellow from my folk club bought one of those (in Low G) at St. Chartier several years ago. If I remember right, the owner is quite pleased with it and the whistle is a pleasant and solid player - I had the chance to try it myself. Mind you, I am not absolutely sure if it is the same maker - but what chances are there that two Frenchmen would come up with the same "special" design independently?

I think those Jubilee bass whistles are pretty frightening, but in a cool way...

I was going to suggest that a couple of batteries might make it sell faster... but, of course, I'm too genteel to do that...

I agree with Walrii, It does look like a Recorder head stuck on a Generation body. The cylindrical body,uneven tonehole size and poor tonehole placement will make this "Frankenstien" sound ugly too.

Note on the Jubilee: Is this half of Grandma's walker? Or maybe half of the ladder from someones pool? :roll:

It does look like it would sound better than it looks though.

Hmm... Maybe Whistler's Mother's?

Body looks like an Oak to me.

I don't think it's ugly at all...it's just...different.

You must have excellent hearing to discern this from a picture

Saw one last year and Colin got to play it and liked its playability... and I did like the sound of it, did not think it is re..or..d.ish.

Not the most beautiful looking one that is right but certainly interesting design. The owner was not willing to sell/part with it when asked so he must be happy with it....
