Most interestingly, Samba whistles, many with triple tones and intricate rhythmic possibilities, have become a standard piece on the performing percussionists table. Mine is authentic, handcrafted by Brazilian artisans, offering the very best in traditional Samba whistle design and tone. Solitary Tinamou, Cried Singing Rotary Samba Whistle emulates the sounds of Brazilian Macuco /Azulona - Genus Tinamus, of the family Fingilidae, a bird whose size equals a hen's.

How to use in Nature :

Sometimes the macuco utilizes a crying type call, generally at the end of the evening when they are perching for sleep or when mating, which is why this call attracts many macucos
Engage the whistle with the mouth, give two short blows and then give some longer, smooth, crying blows rotating the shaft during the blow.
