Subject: Re: PUPT: Whistling Puppet Language


Could this be something like the swazzle used in Punch and Judy plays?

We received the following request at the Puppetry Store. Anybody know how to 
help this lady? If so, her e-mail address is: gisellef-AT-ece.ubc.ca


"I was wondering if you might be able to help me.  Recently, I was in 
Rajasthan, India, and I purchased some local puppets.  The area I was in was well 
known for its puppets and puppet shows (Kathputli).  During the shows, the head 
puppeteer would often use a small bamboo reed to make the noise of the "puppet 
language".  Throughout the province, the same instrument was used to make the 
whistle like sounds.  I was wondering if you sell any of those little bamboo 
instruments, that resemble a tiny harmonica, at your store.  Do you happen to 
know the name of it?  Do you know of anywhere else that I could buy one?  
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Giselle"
