they lady who runs the place said that she can get ANY whistle for me that I want. Don’t know that I believe that. There were a few intriquing things however. The guy I first talked to told me that they don’t have any whistles, but they DO have a Jew’s harp :roll: I also contemplated buying something else, but I didn’t want to be anathama, so I didn’t by the alto rec**d*r 
Anyway, just sharing since I’m bored. Aren’t you all thrilled? 
A fine instrument with a long history, but… it’s a bit like saying, “We don’t have pianos, but we DO have castanets.”
When I was a teenager, I lived in Mindanao, and used to get local ones made of bamboo.
Alto recorders are lovely instruments. Almost an entirely different beast from Soprano recorders, they are.
