A whistle (1) having a pea-less chamber (5,6) and a chamber (4) including a moveable element (4c) associated therewith, such as a pea or rotatable member, said chambers (4, 5, 6) having a common mouthpiece (2) or being positioned so as to be able to be blown into substantially simultaneously by a user.
A whistle (1) as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the chamber having a moveable element (4c) associated therewith is a trill chamber.
