Anyone seen/played one of these things yet? Granted, they’re more of a recorder/Melodian than whistle but you can get some really good whistle-y sounds out of it.
I find it kind of intriguing…

Interesting sound. A mouth-blown portative organ, in effect.
I know that Hohner was heavily promoting melodicas at this year’s NAMM show, especially the funky-colored AirBoard. So maybe there’s a trend (or imagined trend) to mouth-blown keyboards.
“If you like the sound of the recorder, but don’t have time to learn how to play it, the Andes 25F is the instrument for you.”
… if you ignore the little matter of learning how to play the keyboard, which of course takes no time at all … 
There definitely seems to be a wave of this sort of thing hitting yertube at the moment.
I own one, very funny instrument.
I bought it a few years ago after seeing Jacob Venndt playing Tico Tico on this video (at the end):

Thanks for posting. I would have missed the Andes. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of my melodicas over the years. Might as well try one of these too.
This video is kind of amusing.
If the Hooters had used one of these in their band they might have been called the Tooters. And we danced…
