Regretfully, neither the right nor left handed sewer flute has ever been
commercially available. It, along with others, are one-offs from Dr.
Schickele's warped mind.

From Wikipedia:
 Schickele invented a range of rather unusual instruments. The most
 complicated of these is the Hardart, a variety of tone-generating
 devices mounted on the frame of an "automat", a coin-operated food
 dispenser. The automat is used in the Concerto for Horn and Hardart, a
 play on the name of proprietors Horn & Hardart, who pioneered the North
 American use of the Automat. Schickele also invented the "dill piccolo"
 for playing sour notes, the "left-handed sewer flute", the "tromboon",
 the "lasso d'amore", the double-reed slide music stand, the "tuba
 mirum", a flexible tube filled with wine, and the "pastaphone", an
 uncooked tube of manicotti pasta played as a horn. P.D.Q's 1965
 Pervertimento for Bagpipes, Bicycle and Balloons demonstrated the
 inherent musical qualities of everyday objects in ways not equally
 agreeable to all who listen to them.

But I love his stuff!

Cheers... Dallas
