I might recommend something called the "Kinder Clari". I have not
used it yet (have not needed to) but it might be worth looking into.
It is a completely plastic (keys too) instrument pitched in C with
very small holes and a simplified Boehm system.

I had forgotten about this instrument, it is much more reliable than
the Lyons but it is not in C, at least not the ones I have seen, but
in Eb and the keys were metal, not plastic like the Lyons. Like the
Lyons, it uses an Eb m/p but the tone of the Lyons, when in playing
condition, is obviously nearer to that of a Bb and easier on the ear.
