I bought a "Saxaflute" whistle off Ebay some time ago. The one I got was in really bad shape - windway smashed in and all. With a little work it is in playing shape again and is - at best - a fair whistle. It plays in B. And it's surprising the amount of thought and engineering that went into this - look at the fancy little "bump" in the wood part of the fipple. Actuallya pretty cool piece!
My grandson likes to play "the Red one"!

I have a couple of those Viceroy heads. I can't remember when and where I got them - dim recollection of buying them in a music store that had a box full of them for a few pennies, no bodies. They are wide - wider than a Gen Bb body. But once you do fit them onto something, they sound pretty weak.
It's funny but with that name, you'd expect them to made in India. Presumably the brand name predates Indian independence anyway (1947), if not the articles themselves. Hmm. They might be made of bakelite...
