FYI, bassoons don't use whistles. They use "double reeds."

Many casual bassoon players are turning to synthetic reeds these days, but die-hards stick with the natural item. They require a lot of soaking/spit/sucking on/softening up before they can make a sound. Really gives your tandem student something to do under canopy!

This is probably our 2nd best joke today - the first was when a close friend-of-a-friend who'd had a low turn incident last weekend showed up. I asked how he was doing & was told -- "Sorry man, he died this morning."

Ohhhhhhh man. Skydivers - you gotta love em, as long as they pay their rigging bills.

We tried them out at our DZ, but they kept snagging in the packing machine.B|
They were the French whistles, made by Condue.

there is a guy at my DZ that had one of those nerf whistles (from the nerf footbal that whistles when you throw it) attached to his helmet.. I dont think he had it for awareness at all..just for making a hell of a screech when hookin'... was pretty cool.. I think it fell off in freefall though..
