content: From card: "Rev. F. Lambrecht, 1933. A thin 2" runo reed which has a notched opening 1/2" down from its open end. A 15" double strand of twine is used to hang the whistle about the neck. This flute gives a sound similar to the notes of the rice bird. Glued canes are sometimes set out and this whistle is used to lure the rice bird to these traps. The bird that alights upon the glued canes is unable to fly away."
