- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

There've been a number of threads on cases, so that might be worth a look. Loren had mentioned a flute quiver from the Oregon Flute Store (www.oregonflutestore.com), the Crow, which is their "economy" model. I have one, and it's an excellent case for the money - certainly worth a look. It easily holds my lowest whistles (down to my low C)with room for quite a few in there. I like it so much that eventually I'll work up to one of the larger cases for gigs where I need to take many whistles. Worth a look...

PVC plumbing pipe, with a wooden 'bung' fixed at one end. Bubble wrap placed in the bottom.
Cap for pipe made from slightly bigger pvc pipe - use duct tape around main tube to make a tight-ish fit.
Cap length = tube dia x 2.
Bubble wrap against cap bung.
Pop in low D, fit cap.
Definitely 'kid proof':lol:

The Burke D goes in the sleeve that I got at Shannaquay, the Kerry and Cook go in the right and left legs of a pair of wool tights. Whichever is coming with me then gets tucked in the ergonomic shoulderbag with all the other whistles.
I checked out the cutlery rolls at Victorinox, but you don't get much bang for the buck there. A friend looked at the issue as a personal challenge, and wants to make 'the perfect whistle roll'. I'm going to ask for the perfect dulcimer carrying bag first.

Overton Low D comes with a bag, actually a very good one...before that I owned a Chieftain Whistle for which I knitted a kind of bag. My boyfriend kept saying it looked very weird...nothing to talk about to children , anyway, it worked. But I am still looking for a proper handbag, so I can take all my whistles with me

Cal,
I actually don't use the Crow any more, I have my own professional Whistle Caddy now, stole him from Tiger Woods in fact. "What do you think Chevy? I'm gussing I'll need a Bb to make it through the next jig set...."
Seriously though, if you need to carry a ton of whistles, or whistles longer than Low D, the Crow is a great deal. OTH, Colin Goldie has these awesome custom made whistle cases that he and Brigitte sell, they are by far the best thing out there - hands down. Go to the Overton site if you'd like to check them out, I think they have a photo.

You should get a violin case. That way, you'd get all sorts of respect from musicians and non-musicians alike who don't know you can't play a fiddle but know that they're very hard to play. You'd get even more respect from those who know to what other use a violin case was traditionally put.
Seriously, though, Brigitte and Colin provided a really nice padded case for my Overton low D that really doesn't require any other protection.
