Maurizio's water whistle is the one you fill halfway and then blow. Inside there's water, outside there's the sound: a liquid, natural sound that changes depending on how much water is inside.
 
 
 
In Calabria, terracotta whistles were made by potters for children. They were toys, but also tests of skill: the shape matters, the opening matters, the thickness of the clay matters. It's not as simple as it looks.
 
 
 
This one is handmade by Maurizio in his workshop. Every whistle is slightly different from the next: the sound changes accordingly. That's what makes it special.
 
 
 
It's used with water, blown slowly. It takes a minute to figure out how it works, and then you can't stop.
 
 
 
An old game, made by hand. Still, even now.
