Oregon Flute Store Catalog > Bird Whistles Bird Whistles
The Aztec word Huilacapitzli refers to bird whistles and ocarinas used in ancient Mexico. The prefix “Huila” means morning dove. Guillermo’s whistles are hand fired for 12 hours, then hand painted with Aztec designs using colored clays and burnished with a smooth stone to give them a velvety feel. They are perfectly tuned using a special diamond tool and are capable of precise clear musical tones. Offering a wonderful accompaniment to the flute, great for flute gatherings and talking to our feathered friends. All whistles come with neck carrying strap, and have a full set of how-to-play instructions.

Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the cases you made for me last year. I like to take a flute along on hikes to special places, and the Hummingbird is just perfect for that. When I go somewhere to play with several flutes and both cases, the cases get as many comments from people as the flutes! I always get asked about them when traveling through airports.
The beauty and craftsmanship of your cases is incomparable, and they give me a wonderful feeling every time I pick them up. And knowing that they were made by you, and not in a factory halfway around the world, makes them even more special. Thanks again for all your help selecting my cases and fabrics, and for doing such a terrific job on them! As my flute collection grows, when I need more cases you can be sure that I'll be calling.
