Set of Twelve (12) Nose Flutes Grover-Trophy1st Note

Endlessly entertaining!

I remembered having these as a kid and having lots of fun with them, and couldn't resist buying this pack for my own kids and the cousins to enjoy. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy...be sure you're just breathing through your nose and make sure your mouth is open over the lower hole (if it's not open enough the sound will come out soft and shrill, but if it's properly open it sounds like a loud whistle). Move your mouth and cheeks to vary the tone. Lots of fun! :)

Each kid in my family got one of these with their Christmas gifts this year, and they were a hit! The grownups were treated to concerts all evening long.The quality was fine… they were flexible enough to press onto tiny faces, but not so flimsy as to feel cheap.

Exactly as pictured

I received this pack of 12 nose flutes (also referred to by some as nose whistles) promptly and in perfect condition. Note (no pun intended) that each flute is individually sealed in a little plastic bag—no worries about transmitting germs when gifting a flute to another person. As a music teacher, I find these toys valuable as a way to introduce young children to the concepts of pitch, tonality, and volume, and when they get proficient at controlling the sound, it’s a marvelous way to begin ear training with having them imitate simple songs (pitch-matching). I have seen other vendors’ postings for these same items for ridiculous amounts of money (one was selling them for $60 for a packet of 10!). I will definitely buy from this seller again—the price is fair, and the product is great quality.

We had family fun with these as a "game show" along with other challenge-type games. We were able to identify all the songs everyone played. :)

I give them to people in restaurants whose children are uncomfortable or agitated… I play mine, get their attention, and give one as a gift if the child is old enough, or to a parent or family member.

I owned one as a kid. It was a silly toy, but well made and solid. I saw these and bought them for my grandchildren. These were a cheap knock off, with plastic so thin as to be non-functioal! Complete waste of money!
