The Pea Whistle has a narrow blade or fipple in mouthpiece which splits the air and causes the sound. The resonance chamber amplifies the sound and also contain a small light ball which rattles around inside.

Pea Whistles are assigned the number 421.221.11 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-Free Aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
421 = Edge-Blown Flutes. A narrow stream of air is directed against an edge.
421.2 = Flutes with a Duct. A narrow duct directs the air-stream against the sharp edge of a lateral orifice.
421.22 = Flutes with an Internal Duct. The duct is inside the tube.
421.221. = Single Flutes with an Internal Duct.
421.221.1 = Open Flutes with an Internal Duct.
421.221.11 = Without Fingerholes.

The Willow Flute (or Sallow Flute) has a fipple mouthpiece (a plug directs air along a narrow duct and against a hard, bladed edge) and no finger holes. It is found across Scandinavia: in Norway as the seljefløyte, in Swedeh as the sälgflöjt or sälgpipa, and in Finland as the pitkähuilu or pajupilli. Ones made of willow last only a short time, and they are now mostly made from plastic.

Willow Flutes are assigned the number 421.221.11 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
