What the trash is that?
It looks like a new form of garbage disposal.

That is very cool! A little scary, maybe, but still very cool! Where did you get that photo?
Judging by the number of toneholes, it’s a chromatic garbage disposal. (My garbage disposal only plays one note.)
If he brings that to a session… 
That must be the ULTIMATE cosmic drain pipe!
And this, good people, is the wages of WhOA. Where does it end? By sleeping on park benches, going wrapped in tatters, and scavenging discarded drinking-straws just to make that next…whistle. Yes, sirree, Bob.
The picture is from flutetrends.ch. It’s a sub-contra bass flute made by some Japenese guys with time to spare and a really big van to get to their gigs in.
Not to mention HUGE lungs!

This ties in with a previous conversation on the subject of low whistles; http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=13988
Holy B flat, Batman! You mean that thing is actually playable???
Warning: this instrument can reset pacemakers, mimic the sound of a tomahawk missle flying overhead and cause tetonic plate motions…
No-go for a session:
-
Jerry is right: it must be chromatic
-
It’s shaped as a paper clip, to hold sheet music
-
The banjo will spill his Guinness right in the upright bell while the fiddlers will take it for a bow stand…
well, I didn’t take part in building it 
What key is that in? Bb? 
If you hook up a leaf-blower for the air power and work a key system into it it and put it on wheels you would have a combination between a whistle an organ and a ta-tinka.
is there a sound clip to be found anywear?
