Nose Whistles

Although nose flutes have respectable traditions throughout the world, the plastic nose whistles sold as novelty items just gotta make you smile.  I don’t know why these came to mind yesterday as I was telling the kids a bedtime story, but the nose whistle became a central part of the story, and I promised the kids I would show them a video of one today.  And I was truly surprise by what I found.  But then again, not.  The Internet can be awesome like that.  Anyway, hard to watch these without smiling.

“God Only Nose” video  (I mean seriously?!  The title alone.  I told my husband if we weren’t already happily married, I’d marry this guy based solely on this video.)

Mozart’s “Magic Nose Flute”

“Bear Necessities”

“Africa”

 

 

 

 

Which led me on a tangent to all sorts of cool instruments.  YouTube can sometimes get a bit depressing, but, Wow!  There are such talented people out there posting.

Check out this guy performing “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Evenin’ “ with this rockin’ trumpet funnel kazoo, which I first saw here
