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.

Tell us something.: I play the whistle, I used to play flute but have Dupuytren's contracture so can only play whistle now which is fine. Mostly play sessions around Canterbury Kent area.

Who does the bags for Chris Abell?

I have one for his A/Bb set, and wish I could find smaller and larger sizes.

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/accessor ... TLE%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.

Whistle Storage

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.! :P

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) .
