Bird Water Whistle - A Fabulous Sounding Instrument

A fabulous-sounding ‘Bird Water Whistle’. Pour a little water down the mouthpiece and blow! The sound is astonishingly bird-like and needs no skill at all to play effectively.

Click the trumpet icon below to listen to an amazing audio clip of ‘Disappearing World’ below by 9 year old Erin Bryant. Erin directed the whole thing and played both keyboard themes and nearly all of the parts, including the bird water whistles, rainstick and frog twirler.

The piece starts as an idyll, but then portrays the threat to the environment (some ambient forest noises are used as part of the background and a chainsaw sample is used to represent the ongoing destruction). A fantastic early composition. Brilliant!
