A Boatswain's call or Bosun's pipe was used aboard ships for communication

It can be tuned by modifying the tube, by flattening to make the space near the pea smaller
Another way to tune is to push something into the pipe to sharpen the edge
When tuned and held with the mouth toward a breeze a sound will be heard
