Robbie, you are right, we still make the whistlers.  They are still
hand-carved, and the movements we make also fit into the old whistlers.
We have some of them at our homepage at: http://www.musicboxworld.de/

 [ "The whistlers, hand-carved wooden figures with a mechanical
 [  whistling movement, were formerly manufactured by the Griesbaum
 [  firm in the Black Forest.  After switching it 'on' the head moves
 [  and the figure whistles a melody.  We are today the only
 [  manufacturer in the world maintaining this old Black Forest
 [  tradition."
