Panic Attack! Lost Whistle

Whistle
1

I thought I’d lost my constant companion for the last few months, my Clarke Original which I bought used for $10 along with the Bill Ochs book. Reached in my bag to pull it out while waiting to get my Air Inspection on my car and it wasn’t there!

I searched around the car (and the other car) and the house to no avail. I was despondent. I know it’s only a cheap tin whistle and even the gold markings are worn off and the mouthpiece has a small dent from being dropped (from the previous owner), but I love this whistle…

Finally found it this morning near my exercise bike. What? You whistle while you exercise? Well, yeah, I figure it builds breath and lung control. :slight_smile: Sort of like practicing oration at the sea shore. :slight_smile:

So life is good again.

Anyone else have stories of lost and found whistles?

I lost my three Generation whistles as a teenager, back before I knew how to play whistle. I eventually found one between my mattress and my box spring. I have no idea how it got there, and the other two never turned up, not even when I moved house.

There’s probably mice playing whistle to this day in the walls of that house. :slight_smile:
