whistle frame

[larson1951]

gathered my whistles together and come up with this frame
also a few odds & ends to help fill up the frame
the whistle in the center still has the ball of pitch inside behind the cut hole but i still can't make it whistle

Lars,
I love the whistles! I will probably never find anything like that. The one in the upper left hand corner looks like a phalic (spelling?) symbol. I am sure it is just the way it is laying, or is it really in the shape of a private part? I only ask because its shape is very strange from the picture.

Sweet post Lars! What was the purpose of the ball of pitch?

larson, do any of the whistle? I have three and all of them whistle fairly well with the last one I just found, the 3 hole one, being the loudest.

Jake, I see the same thing you do. I would be willing to bet that piece just might be a Phallic Symbol and may have been used in fertility ceremonies. Very cool pieces larson.

SRV, i can't get any of them to whistle, but only the middle one still has that pitch inside
