hi, so i found one thing on ebay i was wondering about:
Vintage pair keyless Tin Whistles Csakan, Germany 1920
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140393500943&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182
starting bid is $50; ends in another 6 days.
i did a google search for Csakan and a search on this board. most of the discussions say that Csakans are keyed recorders that were in fasion for awhile c. 19th c; this one isn’t keyed though. (also, i guess, from seeing on this board, it might not be tuned to A-440. beware! ![]()
i’m wondering what it sounds like though…
has anybody ever heard/played one?
also, there’s an interesting low whistle available for another day or two:
Calmont Low D Whistle
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290416416735&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182
it’s at about $40 right now; i found a review on the chiff and fipple low whistle page:

and keeping in line with our theme of recorders (just kidding!
there’s also sweetheart. ![]()
