Unknown Whistler Tune
By Tony Ciuffini

Steve Tuorto asked what the tune was on his Whistler.  Most whistlers
that I have restored play "Show Me The Way To Go Home".  It appears to
me that the plunger on the whistle is moving that it is stuck and is
not running properly.  This may be the reason it was hard to identify.

I suggest the plunger, the whistle barrel be cleaned and checked to
make sure that the arm is following the cam for the plunger.
