Signature wind sound effects

What is the windhowler?

From the user manual:
“The windhowler is capable of producing almost any type of wind sound “live”, in varying pitch and indefinite length for ease in cueing to stage action or for recording purposes. Sounds are created by employing the 15 resonators either singly or in combinations up to four at a time while operating the fan unit. The integral variable transformer provides a means of varying the sounds from a whisper to a shriek.”

Invented in 1950
