Handmade Bamboo Sliding Stick Whistle Flute
Get your guests involved in the fun and merriment at your next event with our sliding bamboo flute. This whimsical noisemaker is handmade in Bali, and it can play any tune you desire. Blow into the flute and slide the stick back and forth to create a tune, and a room of polite conversation turns into laughter.
At 6"L, the Handmade Bamboo Sliding Stick Whistle Flute is small enough to tuck beside a place card and light enough for a child to hold. The bamboo is warm and smooth in the hand, and because each one is made by hand rather than stamped out by a machine, no two are quite identical.
Have this eco-friendly favor engraved with a short message or a name to make it a gift that will be treasured forever. Two names and a wedding date, a thank-you to your guests, a child's name on a party favor, a company name on a giveaway: the engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999, so the words are cut into the bamboo and stay there long after the last song.
Place several bamboo sliding whistles at each table for your guests. Or set a basket of them at the entrance to your reception venue so that your friends and family members can pick them up on their way in. Guests reach for them during the toasts, the first dance and the send-off, and the photographer ends up with a room full of people mid-laugh instead of mid-sentence.
You don't need any musical talent to strike a chord with your guests when you give them a bamboo slide whistle. Just have a few of these instruments lying around and watch all of your friends turn into kids again. Add a few of our coconut maracas to the mix and you've got yourself the makings of a garage band. With all of these fun accessories, you and your guests will all be able to make beautiful music together all night long. This flute will add a little life to any party!

Which one should I choose
Most shoppers looking at the Handmade Bamboo Sliding Stick Whistle Flute are choosing between a favor guests play and a favor guests pocket.
| Handmade Bamboo Sliding Stick Whistle Flute | Choose it when you want the room to make noise: a 6"L handmade bamboo slide whistle, engraved with names and a date, on every table or in a basket at the door. |
|---|---|
| Coconut maracas | Choose them when you want rhythm rather than melody; the description suggests putting both out together to make the makings of a garage band. |
| A plastic noisemaker or paper favor | Choose it only if the favor is disposable; it will not be handmade, engraved or eco-friendly, and nobody keeps it. |
For a favor that gets played during the toasts and kept afterwards, the engraved bamboo flute is the pick, with maracas alongside it if you want a whole band.
