Buying bulk high D whistles

[dspmusik]

I am a music teacher looking to buy about 50 high D whistles for my students for Christmas. Any leads on good prices on bulk orders? The whistles don't need to be super nice, although it would be a nice touch if I could get my business name/logo printed on the whistle, but that might be asking too much

Not 50, but 32 Box of Clare whistles in brass

Box of Clare whistles in Nickel
Available only to Europe however.

You can buy a box of 36 whistles direct from Feadog

If you go the Clarke company website, I believe they sell both their original and Sweetone whistles in bulk.

Yep, probably cost more than the whistles! Once you have the whistles, you could make inquiries into local printing, awards and engraving businesses. Transparent stickers can be printed with logos and text for very little. In fact if you can find the right printing stock, you could print them yourself on either an ink-jet or laser printer.

Thanks for the info and links. I use a local engraving company for trophies and such, and didn't even think of that, but that's a good way to go, about $1 each.
I teach guitar, bass, drums, piano, violin, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele.

The folks at Whistle and Drum are great to work with on bulk orders. Shoot the owner an e-mail and see if he can give you a break on a bulk order.

Maybe I should shoot the moderator... a PM to clarify my figure of speech.

You'll have to get in line and wait your turn. There's a long queue ahead of you ...
