Get a specification of the whistles (it may be a "chord", more
than one note) and get an organ builder to make it for you. The real
thing would sound most authentic - have you any pals in the workshops?


Thanks,
Next question is therefore, where can I find out the specifications for
the whistle? (I know they're 3-chime but that's about it).
I have a friend in LU but he works in the S&T department, so would not
deal with them generally, though I will ask him.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know, the dimensions of LU whistles,
their minimum operating pressure, who supplies them, what they cost, and
if LU would be amenable to selling a couple?



If you know the supplier's name, they would probably tell
what the notes of the 3-chime are, it may even be on an on-line
catalogue! The The basic point is that whistles are NOT minaturisable.
Probably the simplest and most practicable for a model (I am correct
in thinking that that is the intended use?) is to sample the sound and
play it back using a loudspeaker. A music shop could do it for you. Or
the suppliers of the real thing?
