And there does seem to be a peak in the fifth decade of the poll. Damn, I just snuck into that cohort as well - I chose a low whistle in my forties, but didnt do much with it until my very late forties.
I really regret not having musical training or interest from an early age. A musical introduction at school had me interested in playing trumpet - but I couldn't seem to raise the necessary enthusiasm in my parents.
I did started playing with a harmonica ('Blues Harp', 'Gob Iron') at uni. I never got good, but can crank out a steady but unimaginative 'riff' in whatever key is five semitones above the instrument.
Thanks for your responses (though that does NOT mean the poll is closed).

And then I saw there were those funny little thingys in the store. I got some pocket money (I was getting something like 6-7 euros a month), so I bought one (Clarke trad) - I loved it, however when I tried Clarke Sweetone, I liked that one much more...and that was a start of my whistling.
