Hello, I am looking for a decent whistle bag, I have 6 whistles and want to store, and carry them…help!
Check out Lark in the Morning’s catalog. I bought one from them several years ago. I don’t see the exact same style available, but the one shown looks nice. Mine holds up to six to eight whistles and this one looks similar.

Who does the bags for Chris Abell?
I have one for his A/Bb set, and wish I could find smaller and larger sizes.
I like the one from Song of the Sea:

Drumstick bags also work; also PVC pipe (cheap and easy to make- cut a length of pipe long enough for your longest whistle you’ll be putting in there, get two end-caps, and line the inside with soft fabric, and voila! Whistle case!)
well if i only owned non tunable aluminiums, i’d straight go for this multi- bag, http://www.overton.co.uk/texte/accessories.html#WHISTLE%20BAGS
but a love the extremely fragile burke composites, so i use plumbing pipes with the insulation on the inside for padding. there’s also fitting screw-caps for these pipes, i stick a little foam on the inside of them caps
I made one out of a pantleg but it was too big and I could never get the whistle I wanted. Now I have several separate pouches that my whistles/flutes came in and have tied them all together to a strap that hangs around my neck. For the reniassance faires I carry three whistles, four bamboo flutes, my monster Vietnamese G flute and the Dixon 3 piece. It’s hard to find a single pouch that is adequate for that kind of variety in size.
If you’re a cheap-skate, like me, you can find leather or velour “Wrench Roll-Ups” like this…

These are easy to make too and once “rolled up” they can be inserted into a short piece of PVC tubing with end caps.
i think you just invented the perfect whistle bag there thomas, solid and handy
I use a Jamesons whiskey bottle tin and some foam pipe insulation. The tin holds 5 or six at a push, costs next to nothing and is a talking point at the session.!
Heres a Couple of Recent bags I did. The red one is spoken for. These have a huge-long shoulder strap. I could also do an all around zip (top,bottom & 1 side) .
I can vouch for both the Overton Multi-Whistle Bag, and the Whistle Hardcase: Both are extremely well made and durable. As you can see, the Multi Bag holds lot’s of whistles/flutes (hmm, one of those bamboo flutes looks familiar ) and the hardcase will hold a fair amount as well, if you are mixing high and low pitched whistles - I think I used to get a Low D, Low F, Soprano C, and Soprano D into mine. This one also makes a fantastic case for keyless flutes!

hear hear!
I would like to thank everyone for there help…now I just have to decide which one is right for me…
Hi
A drumstick is what I use. I bought it from my stepson for $5 one day when he was desperate!

I make a roll up whistle case, similar to the wrench case, I think! You can see it on e-Bay, just search under irish whistle, or send me a message and I can send you a picture.
