Does anyone living in the Denver - Boulder - Colorado Springs area know of any shops that might have any Low whistles (esp G’s or D’s) for sale and that could be demoed?
well, i left the area about 20 years ago, but visit regularly.
there’s the boulder early music store in erie.
and it looks like it might be worth popping up to greely to check out whistle & drum.

I live near Boulder…
As the previous poster said, the Boulder Early Music Shop is likely to have something, but they probably won’t have much that’s really intersting. I like them a lot, but they’re not primarily a whistle place.
They will probably have in low whistles, the Chieftan, maybe Shaw, along with the usual range of Generations, Clarkes, and so on.
Great place to get baroque sheet music if that’s your thing, and a little bit of trad/folk stuff. Do call them (number from their web page) if you plan a visit. It’s mostly a mail order shop, and in a residential neighborhood. They’ll be happy to have you come and browse if they’re in.
You might try www.flesherhinton.com . They’re in Denver and Aurora. I couldn’t tell from their website what all they sell–might just be orchestra/concert/jazz band type insturments. But you could email them and see.

Flesher-Hinton is a good music store, but not for whistles. I spent a couple of hours there with my son last September while he tried out various Jazz Tenor Sax mouthpieces. They were very helpful. They’re very good for sheet music if you know what you want.
If you want to browse for sheet music, I prefer Rockley music (in the denver phone book). They also have a large selection, and it’s out to browse through. F-H has all their music in the back.
Well, they’re mainly mailorder/online, but whistleanddrum.com are in Greeley, 1 hour North of Denver and Blayne would likely be glad to show you what he’s got.
