Is there anybody out there who doesn't use their whistles as backscratchers? Perhaps an enterprising maker could add a rake-like piece on the end of a whistle.
May the joy of music be ever thine.

Tell us something.: Well dang, I just want to change my password. looking for that correct page! Thank you! Ohh good grief, I get it, you have to be careful who you let in because of spammers, but sigh.... I'm in a hurry, can we move this along please. :)
I use to twirl them as I use to be a majorette but I quit that after almost poking out the dog's eye. I have also used one as a striker on my mountain dulcimer just to hear what it would sound like. Every once in a while I use it as an extention of my arm to reach the light switch when I am too lazy to get out of the chair. :roll:
I don't use mine as a back scratcher because I already have a bamboo back scratcher.
Cheers,
Kathy

Overton Low-D's may be used a Bodhran player control instruments.
A quick swish 5 inches over the head of said player ususally distracts them enough to down shift out of overdrive.
I've made a couple of low D's with removable extensions that convert them into walking sticks. The five inch head joint is angled at 45 degrees to double as a handle and there is a rubber tip on the bottom.

That's about the only non-instrument use I have done with my whistles, but for me it is turning the radio on/off.
once in the village coach house in boston, a drunken banjo player used mine to stir his coffee. has anyone been busted using one for a crackpipe?
