Absolutely central to the development of jazz as we know it, the swanee whistle is the hepcat's instrument of choice.

Who can fail to be seduced by the sweet combination of the Swanee Whistle with its longtime musical partner - the Kazoo?

And, gentlemen, perhaps not sufficient consideration has yet been given to the seminal influence of the spoons.

The Nose Flute is often heard performing an interlude between movements at classical concerts.

The Anal Utterer can usually be found giving an impromptu foyer performance in the intervals of such concerts, too Wink

Ah it's really not easy to purchase a swanee whistle in Dublin; at least none of the music shops seem to have them.  Do have a kazoo though.

Probably have to be ordered specially, inky.

They come in little plastic packs,
containing five or ten,
and I haven't seen them singly
since ... I can't remember when

Don't knock the swanee whistle! Cardew's Paragraph 1 of The Great Learning will demonstrate its qualities!

French horns sound like kazzoos in Sibelius 3, but don't look like them.

I thought you ought to know.
