Ya could have said "sorry, only my wife can play my flute!!!"

Actually all you would need is a “garklein” it’s one of the smallest members of the recorder family.

he was seriously under the impression that all the sgians he's seen in his life were small flutes.

Sometimes you've got to wonder how misconceptions like those are born.

A dear friend of mine years ago (who was also a piper) always carried a penny whistle in his hose top. Perhaps they've met.

The sgian flute in the key of "D"...

Ah, but I actually have one :-) D is a little big. The one in my avatar is D, the standard baroque flute. I have one an octave higher, thus half the length. It's a little long, fat, and heavy because it's made of ebony, and wooden flutes have to be rather thick-walled.

Drobin, a garklein is getting to be the right size. It would be about half the length of the little flute.

That's what I was thinking of! I only have one in C, a touch longer than the D flute but it's much lighter and skinnier. I'm strictly a novice at whistle.
