Several years ago a national woodworking magazine featured an article on
how to turn a small flute (perhaps they called it a whistle). Although it
was only about four inches long and had only four holes, the instrument
could play a bit more than a full octave. I've lost my copy of the
magazine. Any reference to the article would be greatly appreciated.

Or perhaps a recorder?

Chiff and Fipple would be where I'd start.

George, thank you for the information. It's a start in the right
direction and, based on the information you provided, I may be able to
improvise if I am unable to locate the original article.
