what is an antique whistle ??

Tough question – what is an antique whistle ?

You would think any old whistle. However perhaps the REAL question is what is a whistle ??

Is it a flute like tube shaped instrument with multiple holes ?? More of a pipe than a whistle, but still a whistle ??

And what about slide whistles ?? Are they true whistles ??

AND what about sirens in all their forms ?? Are they 'multiple whistles' all in one or what ??

Then of course There are multiple tube and mutliple chamber whistles ???

Could we bring into the equation bird calls ??

Soooo subjective now isn't it ???

Here's the deepest question of all — why the worry ??
