48. Play a whistle and people will smile, tap their feet and clap their hands

49. It's a very simple instrument, but may end up playing with big musicians at a lovely theatre (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_aywUzx_qo)

50. You can make your own whistle.

51. You can pack a whistle virtually anywhere and you're ready to play whenever you want to.

52. You can easily have people dance.

53. It sounds lovely and has lots of keys.
