I will be removing this part of the article “like the clarinet, the only closed-end, cylindrical Western orchestral instrument.” As it is incorrect that the clarinet is cylindrical, closed on the end, in a way similar to a slide whistle.

In addition (as time allows) I hope to organize the article so that it is laid out as follows.

  1. Short definition
  2. History
  3. Physical description
  4. The slide whistle in music
  5. References
The clarinet is effectively cylindrical (thus its harmonics are different from the saxophone), but otherwise I agree that the similarities are distant.--Curtis Clark 04:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

If someone could record the sound of one it'd be great. Secretlondon 09:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
