i'm a multi-instrumentalist.

amongst what i play are harmonicas & whistles.

i've always felt it a great advantage that mouth organs are 2 way instruments- you can both blow and suck them, & that it's a shame that when playing whistle, i can run out of blow.

i can whistle tunes with my mouth,teeth, & lips & am able to prolong the melody, without pauses for breath, by using natural breathing & also whistling on inhalation as well as exhalation.

a hybrid of mouth organ & whistle could overcome this problem,like a 2 way blow/suck mouthpiece, or even evolve a totally new instrument by having a pipe attached to a harmonica to gain tremelo & note bending in a different way.
