Dear blogger, we would like to use the picture of the Bird Water whistle in your blog in a book we are about to publish. Our book is in Greek and relates to a virtual museum of children's folk musical instruments. How can we contact you? What is your email?

I have scanned the images from an article published in the magazine "Artigianato" (number 17 - April / June 1995). These pictures were originally selected from the exhibition catalog: La terra, il fuoco, l'acqua, il soffio : la collezione dei fischietti di terracotta del Museo nazionale delle arti e tradizioni popolari - Roma, Edizioni De Luca, 1995. If you are interested, I can scan the entire article with some other images of whistles.
Greetings,
Janas.
