The Asarkar Whistle
By golly, I do! I am in the process of buying the set. I have the low D and A, Bb, C and D. The G is on order.goldthorpe wrote:I have low D whistle,made in India,that I bought on Ebay. (brass)

A friend of mine as translated the words Mindu and Bansi to mean "Sweet Flute". Since the fipple was soldered in, I asked the retailer if the solder was lead based. He stated that the importer certified that the solder was lead free and this can be tested by using a lead test kit from the hardware store. I have images on my website and will be loading more as time allows: www.geocities.com/star_runner2000
Go to the whistle page for details. I also aquired a Calura Whistle from the early 1930s (no later than 1933) and a whistle lesson book for it from that period. Please check out the page from the book shown to indicate that playing the whistle is a good primer for learning the clarinet! Too Funny!
For the flute players, I have a ceramic flute that I found at an antique and oddity sale. I call it my "Vomit Flute". When you see it, you'll know why.

I have a Low D "Pipola," bought on Ebay. Don't know what to make of it. It's certainly not tuned in any way that I can use. It sounds like it was tuned by someone with an Eastern ear for music. Anyhow, I thought it would make a demonstration instrument for my younger music students, but I guess I'd better check for lead before I even THINK of doing that.

Actually, you have yourself a "Reliable Bros." 6-hole in G. (you lucky dog, you) These are the best of the old time ceramic folk flutes. Loud, isn't it.For the flute players, I have a ceramic flute that I found at an antique and oddity sale. I call it my "Vomit Flute". When you see it, you'll know why.
