For example:
D
D&C
D,C, and Low-D?
Thanks and

I am what is laughingly called a session junkie around here. I hit session nearly every night of the week (as long as there's one going). The only whistle I take is my D. If they play a tune in A I just half hole the G. Most session tunes are in G, D, Em, or A. That I've heard anyway. Hope this helps!

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Hi Lee! I usually bring about 10 whistles to a session, one in each key I have Low D, low G, A, Bb, C, D (high Eb and F once I get them!) facillitating the vocallists.
For Ds I usually bring different kinds, so as to adapt to different situations. It does sound rather pathological for an amateur whistler, especially when I usually end up using my low D and one D per session only.
Currently, I use a nice padded soft case for Chinese flutes and it carries more than 10 whistles (when you stuff more than one whistle in each pocket). Hope that helps!

I, like most others ehre it seems, play my high D whistles almost exclusively. The biggest thing I find though, is that with different whistles you get a different tone. Burke pro is great for the fast moving stuff like reels, polkas and jigs. However, I prefer my Oak, Generation or Hoover for slower and solo pieces.
Tom, you still playing that orange 'hunting' whistle?

Thanks, for all those that contributed so far. For design purposes it seems we have a couple of usefull approachs.
1. Short case design for 1,2, or 3 soprano whistles.
2. A mixed case for a Tenor(low) D and a soprano D, with maybe a variation that will also carry an additional pocket for a soprano C.
3. A kitchen sink case, for a bunch of whistles.
The first two are, I think suitable for leather cases, while the kitchen sink type might be betterm met by a larger hard case.
Thanks, I'll include this info in my design plans. Additional data/posts still solicited and appreciated.
No mater how you get your whistles to the session, just ...
