It's nothing like sassafras, as it's closer to a ground cover than a tree. It's only maybe 4"/10 cm high, three compound leaves with usually 7 leaflets. Here's a pretty good pic of it in bloom. The little corona-like blooms will ...

... You're correct, and the East Coast plant called sasparilla isn't related (I don't think). Got pics? I'm curious about this plant as compared to sassafras (I'm kind of an amateur plant geek).

... the States, but it's going to be a specialty with limited availability, considering the plant's tropical source and how prevalent its substitute, sassafras-based root beer, is. I have never yet seen any soft drink labelled Sarsaparilla, but then I generally shop at the sort of workaday venues ...

... brings us to sarsaparilla: What was called "sarsaparilla" in 19th-century US would actually have been basic root beer as I know it: sassafras root and birch oil, not genuine sarsaparilla, were the flavorants. So technically "sarsaparilla" was a misnomer at the time: actual ...

Searches are great. But open questions often get new answers.

I just saw something really cool on a recorder site from Germany Kung De Flotenmanfakur. They had a multi slot roll made of light leather and cotton lined. It looked like it would take a number of D whistles. I'm not up on my metric measurements but at 380 mm it looks like it would be a nice home fo...

... a search for Whistle Roll Case. If you just do a search for Whistle Roll you get some nice instruction videos... If you particularly like the Sassafras roll you could probably send one of these persons the link and see if it could be copied. Von Heune Workshop sells rolls for flutes and recorders. ...

A number of people have linked to the £50 Belti 4-whistle roll case. It's well made. Only criticism - "bulkier" than needed for just Bb/C/D/Eb roll-case (pouches too wide. Could have been better if more slim fitting for 4 whistles. But all in all a nice purchase and very useful. Pinegrove ...

Thanks everyone! I'm looking for a roll to store my whistles in safely at my house. I have a 4 whistle Pinegrove Leather roll already to travel with my whistles. My biggest problem is it is not easy to find sessions around here in East Tennessee. I've never played in a real session but would love to...

One left in stock on eBay UK

Yes, that's the link that was in my post. There's one on ebay as well, probably the same. It was €40 when I got it, if memory serves.

I think Annie stopped making them about a decade ago. Do a search, like many things, it has been discussed here several times before. see here, for example I just purchased one of these. Hopefully, it'll fit my D whistles! If not I guess I'll return it! https://www.amazon.com/Walker-Williams-DSB-1-...
