Hey guys, awesome thread.  I went through some of my old stuff and found a tin whistle I got at some historical place gift shop:  It's a little different from the others in this thread, the mouthpiece is metal with a block of wood instead of plastic:  D'ya think it's adequate or should I get a proper one?

TapTheForwardAssist posted:info Thanks! It can make a fair enough sound on the lower notes but on the higher ones it sometimes does some harmonics/overtone type stuff. It might just be me though, I can do that on my sax so I guess I need more practice controlling my whistle. Today's mah birfday so I think I'll see about ordering a new whistle.  I also need help identifying some sort of reed flute that my grandfather gave me a long time ago; I'll post pics and stuff later today. Thanks again TTFA and withak

Welp, here it is:  7 holes, plus thumb-hole on the other side. Very airy sound. The end is closed off, so the first 6 holes+thumb hole covered is a low note, but cover all of them and it's a high note. I haven't been able to pull off anything more then Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but my sister picked it up and straight away played Ye Banks and Braes O Bonnie Doon. I've had this thing for like 14 or 15 years, I think grandad said it was from Turkey but it doesn't match anything I've searched. It could be just some touristy thing.
