O,K.,
Call me loopy,call me demented,call me deranged,call me perverted.Call me downright unmusical (o.k. Kevin,that’s enough ‘call me’s’).
But, today I bought a GARKLEIN!!! 
(maniacal laughter).
For those of your who haven’t passed out in sheer TERROR,this is a super high RECORDER(can someone attend to that guy who’s fainted at the back please?)pitched in ‘C’ a whole octave above the ‘school’ descant.
I tried a scale, and now my apartment is surrounded by Bats!
Thanks to the Geneva convention,I see that this WMD is restricted to an octave and a half.There is a (whistle)God.
What kind of range you get outta the thing? I nearly ordered one one time, but read that the sopranino basically goes just as high.
Somehow I’ve wound up with two of the things…
You call yourself VOMITbunny? This thing will make you go projectile! 
Nah,seriously,it’s anice little horn-I just don’t know what to do with it!
one and a half octave hornpipes? Birdcharming? general annoyance?
When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it would be a discussion of possible whistle playing on a Meat Loaf album.
You are loopy. You are demented. You are deranged. You are perverted. You are downright unmusical.
… and every other word like them that ends in -ate!
There, do you feel better now?
Come to think of it, there’s a bit of bagpiping in the BOOH2 album.
LOL! Me too! I was trying to figure out if I’d ever heard anything on that album with a whistle in it!

The sopranino is actually fairly useful.
If your hands will fit.
I’ve always thought I had small hands (for a man, anyway) and I can play the sopranino, but it’s an awfully tight squeeze. Since my main remaining interest in recorders is F Alto and C Tenor, I find Kevin’s tiny beast rather frightening to contemplate.
Maybe I should get Generation F and G whistles, just to experiment with. Probably a LOT cheaper than the Garklein. And less likely to shatter glass!!! 
I’m not surprised. How many people were brandishing them? 
Vivaldi wrote a couple of concertos for sopranino that are killer good. Killer hard to play too. Usually these days you hear them on a piccolo.
BRILLIANT, Nano. I owe you yet another pint.
(Good thing I don’t know you; settling up would cost me a fortune!)
P.S. Thanks so much to all you guys for being so funny. I can’t tell you how many times you’ve made my day over the dark & dreary months …
Seriously, i’m sure it sounds lovely. The high notes are really the best notes in a rec*rder. Nice and pure, not irritating (at least in a good recorder and someone who knows how to play it).
