This is a drawing from a museum in Italy in the 1600s of some interesting whistles. It’s from a PDF document on the sordellina, an old Italian bagpipe with bellows and pipes similar to regulators, which is referenced in a thread on the Pipes forum. The text says nothing about the whistles.

Borg whistles! Resistance is futile.
The thing on the left has fipples AND drones? Yow.
Those whistles are obviously up to some hanky panky. Wow…my whistles have been left unattended, together, in a basket…do you think I might hear the tweeter-twatter of little fipples soon? I had no idea they were equipped.
Watch out guys! That bagpipe doesn’t like what you’re doing…and it’s got a stick!
I can’t imagine how much air would be needed to drive six whistles at once – especially with those huge drones! I’m feeling it might have been driven from a bellows or something?
This is a good reminder that there were crazy people hundreds of years ago too!
It doesn’t mean that it was actually made.
I can tell you that of all the crazy instruments that I’ve made:
Biwhistles
Bagwhistles
Basswhistles
Chromatic Whistles
High-High D Whistle (Octave above high-D)
etc…
You should see some of things never went beyond paper.
So, the tradition continues…
Did you ever find anyone to play that super high d whistle? Or develop a backwards anti-piper grip for it? A Bizzaro anti-piper grip?
(Drum roll) see my latest post!
That would be this one, right? 
Glauber,Read and SCREAM IN ABSOLUTE TERROR!!!
