Big Whistle Bag

I’ve just recieved a new Big Whistle Bag from the Big Whistle

(http://www.bigwhistle.co.uk)

Check it out on Phills website it is asoloutely fantastic!!!
I’ve got 3 Low Ds 2 Low Gs & 4 High Ds fitted in mine they are safe & secure and there are also a couple of pockets! Its really well made smart & tough

Honestly I cannot rave about this enough - has anyone else got one? Its
BRILLIANT

Well done Phill!

:sunglasses: Sure do, don’t have ta tell ya what mines full of :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Phil’s yer man

er… haggis?

It does seem very, very nice -and pricey. It seems to be a bit much for a pouch I think. I mean for that price you could get quit a few Jerry Tweaked whistles… :smiley: :smiley: Althoug maybe I´ll have to get one some day anyway :laughing:

I wish I could actually see this bag. The site froze two separate computers. I cannot get to the area where the bag is displayed.
Go figure…
Best.

It’s hard to tell from the picture, but does the bag have a handle or carrying strap?

And for travelling light…the over the shoulder low/high combo whistle bag on the next page looks pretty good too.

What is not clear from the photo is that the bag has both a sturdy carrying handle and an adjustable/removable shoulder strap - and an outside zippered pocket.

Trur and you can get a Low Cin it :sunglasses: and a Low Bb n Low A in it ifin they are tuneable alba’s :stuck_out_tongue:
Mine has a pocket in the inside where I keep my Microvox.

Does this help?

Now, thanks to Stu and his thread, I spotted this three-piece flute padded bag. Hey, it would fit my wooden, three-piece Yvon Le Coant just fine, and my Alba “Broken Arrow” low D too. Just the right pack for motorcycling :slight_smile:
At £10.- I’m tempted!




This one looks great as well! May be just the thing to carry a full low C+D+Eb set while keeping the whistles assembled! Now it’s £31.-

Zubivka: Yup…and thanks very much.
Best.

I just use a whiskey bottle box/tin (Jameson) with pipe lagging in. Great for the SOp D and C’s. A bit more awkward with the Low’s mind! :laughing:
Looks god on the table too

Then again, I’m a Yorkshireman (Despite the location) and not renowned for spending money :smiley:

For others who rather spend their money elsewhere, Emmline “rolled” her own at modest cost

and I did too:

I am very happy with mine. It meets my current needs, costs next to nothing, took a minute to actually make, and I think it is much nicer to look at than the black cases. Downsides are little padding if I need to stack stuff on top of it (which I don’t), and low marks for storage at home.

For those who insist on buying ready made, Hils mentioned a drumstick gig bag suitable for whistles (low and high) for $13 at:

Doing a search for drumstick bags on Dealtime.com turns up fancier (and pricier ones).

I like Bill’s suggestion. And, if you’re looking for a more protective case, you can slip the whistle roll into a pvc tube of your own creation or buy a ready made one. These are marketed for Native American flute, but they’d work for whistles (especially low ones) too: http://www.flutecase.com/catalog.shtml

Granted you’d want to have the whistles wrapped in a piece of cloth so they wouldn’t be clanking together.

You can also check out an outfitters/fishing supply store. I picked up a pvc tube case (padded ends, cordura covering, shoulder strap) that was meant for a fly fishing rod for under $20 US at a local store. It will fit two low Ds with no problem.

I still go for the drum stick bags, way cheaper and work just as well.

The cheapest I think is 9$ US.

May I also suggest the whistle bags sold by Colin and Brigitte Goldie at Overton Whistles… I have one and it’s perfect.

It’s 35 Euro for the biggest case they have (designed to accomodate down to a low C.
