Wind Instruments → Shvi
The Shvi is known as the Armenian Whistle. A flute-type instrument, the Shvi can produce one and a half to two octaves of the chromatic scale. The lower octave is attained by blowing normally into the mouthpiece; the upper octave is attained by blowing harder. The lower octave has a soft, recorder-like tone; the upper octave has a powerful birdlike shrillness, similar to a piccolo or flute. The Shvi is famous for its ability to mimic bird calls.
