Christmas Egg!

Generally, eggs pop out in your garden at Easter. But it's for Christmas that our friend Harm Linsen from the Hetherlands, sent us a beautiful red egg.



And in the egg, there was a nose whistle made by Harm and etched with my name!



Harm sent also a file with pictures of the making:

So, Mr. Linsen used simple referee metal whistle and transformed them by inserting their nose is a brass plate, in order to build a nose saddle, and cutting a part of the belly, to create a labium.



The 2-colors result is funny and very comfortable. The nose saddle is well dimensioned and Harm filed a little scoop for the "western nose cartilage": well done!



Then Harm Linsen etched my name on the nose shield, and filled the letters with a silver coloured marker:



The labium cut in the whistle belly is rather large:



The result is a very comfortable nose whistle, medium-bass oriented, easy to play and with a loud sound. A success! Thank you Harm!

Here is a sound sample:
