No, but I have a Hanson chalumeau, a kind of mini-clarinet!
I can play a scale ... of sorts ... on it.

Ah I see. A whistle with a reed. Next step up from a recorder?;}

thats pretty much exactly what it is pee dee.....i`ve been looking for something to take on holidays etc....it actually plays really nicely...but its only one octave as fas as i can tell....dont have a fingering chart but none of the recorder second octave fingerings seem to work....however its pretty good just have a bit of a play about on....got it cheap off ebay...looks brand new to me.

Mine is black 'clarinet plastic' and has a thumb-hole, so I'm guessing one could get another octave from it, with sufficient skill! Some of the notes I get sound very clarinet-like...others are indescribable!
