I haven't been able to nasal any noise out of this thing but it is a pretty cool instrument. They still make plastic versions but these early ones apparently are somewhat sought after for un-usable music collections. I think they may have been used in one-man-bands but I'm not really sure, I think I may have heard it on an old Smithsonian collection once too.
Here is a great blog dedicated completely to this interesting wonder of the nose.
Hello there! I remember when you sent me this picture... If you want to part from this baby, please let me know through my blog noseflute.org (email at top right). Best wishes, Antoine/UkeHeidi
