Whistles come in many shapes, but this one takes the form of an Aztec death whistle. Shaped like a human skull, it turns a simple wind instrument into a striking piece you will want to show off or hand to a friend to try.
Blow into it and it lets out a loud, shrill scream, the kind of sound the original death whistles are known for. The skull shape carries the details of the design, from the hollow eyes to the open mouth where the air escapes.
Keep it on a shelf as a display piece or grab it whenever you want to make some noise. It works well for music fans, history buffs, or anyone who likes an instrument with a story behind it.
This is made to order in the USA after you place your order.
