I have now officially invented the Strawnter and claim all rights to its invention.
It consists of at least one straw, preferably of McDonalds or equivalent diameter and properties, one small paperclip, and a generic trombone mouthpiece (because every household should have at least one laying around)
The tip of the straw is cut into a triangular point and inserted point-first through the shank the of mouthpiece. A paper clip is bent at three angles so that it pinches the straw at one tip length past the tip of the straw. This tip, complete with pinching paperclip is recessed as far as possible into the cup of the mouthpiece. Insert mouthpiece rim entirely in mouth, rest against gums, and supply a decent amount of air. Voilá, an adaptable straw chanter, or Strawnter. Mine can play F, G, A, Bb, C, D, and a hint of Eb with the 5 finger holes I've added.
