Yes ................. of course. A sweet little thing - if rather strident in tone. ... .. preferable to the ocharina any day.

Oh, dear! - and I pride myself on NEVER making a spelling mistake. I must have been so tired that I was seeing double. Mea maxima culpa. SO embarrassing!

(By the way, I have just checked the spelling of Tsh! Tsh! in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary)
