A whistle or call is a simple aerophone, an instrument which produces sound from a stream of forced air. It may be mouth-operated, or powered by air pressure, steam, or other means. Whistles vary in size from a small slide whistle or nose Flute type to a large multi-piped church organ.

Is there an instrument held in the mouth that amplifies your whistle?

I've been looking for one of these for a long time myself. Something that you can whistle into and it will make it louder. I play jazz guitar and I whistle fun jazz lines to accompany myself, they way a clarinet or trumpet would. But whistling isn't the best sounding "instrument", and I would love to find (or develop) an instrument that you whistle into to make it sound like a more substantial instrument. Anyone know of anything like this, or have any insight on how to develop one?
