Swanee Whistle

[edit]

Is a swanee whistle the same as a slide whistle? -phma

possibly. sounds about right. No article on the swanee whistle would be complete without a mention of the game of Swanee-Kazoo, as played on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue -- Tarquin 23:55 Sep 30, 2002 (UTC)
I'm almost sure that they are indeed the same thing - to my surprise, however, Google reckons "slide" is far more common than "swanee", so I'll tweak the article to reflect this. --Camembert

Keys

[edit]
Most male and female performers prefer to use F-F pipes and C-C pipes, respectively. ...Pipes in other keys are available, but are much more rare.
The Tombo pitch instrument has been gaining widespread acceptance in the barbershop harmony community for the last ten years or so. These instruments are E-E and A-A. I would hardly classify them as "rare" anymore. --Pfrowe (talk) 14:51, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No Citations!

[edit]

This article cites nothing, except for one book. But there's no in-article citations so should I use the {{Template:Unreferenced}} tag or the {{Template:Refimprove}} tag? Eman235/talk 06:43, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
