Yes I loved your Death Whistle...that was so cool. I should show you how to make a quail call that my dad taught me how to make when I was a kid. I taught our local Cub Scout how to make them and they loved them. I'm sure you could turn it into a musical instrument, it vibrates a rubber band between two halves of a branch with other rubber bands wrapped on both ends. It's super easy to make but it sounds pretty cool and very similar to your CD/Can flute.

That's what they should teach in music lessons in schools - to talk about how you can make musical instruments yourself. And who needs to sing or play on something, then let them go to special music schools. I remember how we had simple singing, no frills. It was of little use. It would be better if they talked about notes, about the generation of sounds and the like, it would immediately become much more interesting.

ça me rappelle les sifflets que mon père m'a souvent décrits, faits par le sien (mais il lui a jamais expliqué comment faire), c'était un simple bois vert de l'année (lisse, genre noisetier), coupé de biais dont l'écorce est décollée du bois (assez simple, il faut couper tout le tour, et tourner l'écorce, elle vient assez facilement, ou très mal, c'est tout ou rien :) ). Il semble qu'il enlevait une lamelle le long du bout de bois, une fois l'écorce détachée et remettait l'écorce en place. Ça amusait les gosses :). je pense que l'air fait vibrer l'écorce et produit le son. Si jamais ça t'intéresse, n'hésites pas à en faire une vidéo ! J'ai jamais réussi (mais j'ai 2 mains droites, ça n'aide pas). Et désolé pour le pavé en français alors que tu fais l'effort, mais là, y'a trop de mots que je ne maîtrise pas en anglais !
