I have two and a book as well. One time one slid out of the car window- I had put it up on the ledge under the front window and the light went green and go and I turned right the melody flute went left right out the window and bounced into the intersection.

Got out picked it up and not a scratch though I swear it took several bounces. I remember visiting the company which had moved from Laurel to beltsville md right by the post office. the place had photos on the walls of large bands of folks in africa all outfitted with the whistles. I havent played them in a while!
