I have a few whistles that could use some freshening up. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these folks?
Might be just the ones to take care of that musty old flute too. What d’ya think?
Must be a chain. And this location does repairs!
I wonder if they’d do tweaks?

I usually get over the counter products at a place in Ennis.
How interesting Mr. Gumby, I would have assumed you needed a prescription for your supplies at that store. As a matter of fact, my wife would find the world a much better place if people were required to obtain a prescription before buying a whistle.

Hmmmmmm… I would say they do tweaks. 
A tweak is an alteration.
But can they have it out by five if it was in by nine?
Perhaps. But don’t misplace your ticket.
And if all your tooters need is a few days away to feel refreshed, maybe you could book them lodgings here.
Or treat them to a night out at their own special place.
Am I missing any other such named establishments?
Well, there’s loads of places, possibly, for those who don’t keep their whistle clean:
You lads need to slow down here… while tidying up.

Play music. In any genre.

Play more music.
And, did you say tidy? Here’s the tidy bowl man. I’m not sure if he’s whistling nor if his whistles are tidy. But, take five and dive!
And, to bring it back to OP initial post… I thought you were serious so while watching the Fleadh from Sligo I oiled and cleaned my whistles, especially the woodies.
Ha! I knew the “Pig n Whistle” would show up. Thanks Mr. Gumby. Very common pub name. I like the pub sign with the duck. That’d make a good avatar.
I thought this one might come up too.
By the way, around here a Whistle Pig looks like this.
They forecast weather and sometimes moonlight as golf course groundskeepers.
Ytliek, right. That would be a good place for the Six Hole Olympics.
Culture? I was always partial to this version.
I suppose the Tidy Bowl man is “clean as a whistle” but otherwise I don’t want to know any more about him. Creepy concept, IMB. Let’s keep it to whistles not tidy, fresh or clean. Don’t like where that could go.
Is that all we got?
Not even. I found a “song” - or groove, or whatever you’d call it - called “Dirty Whistle”.

Now I have been here. In Australia that is. My grandson broke some salt and pepper shakers there when he was a wee lad.
You know, that pig with the duck has his trousers undone. All very suggestive, if you ask me.
Nano, where are you taking this? Let’s try to keep it clean.
I guess I just don’t zero in on a pig’s trouser button. I look 'em in the eye.

Mebbe they don’t like Irish Music?
Bob
That was my general drift, as it happens.
Please. Don’t accuse me of swinophilia. I was wondering why the duck had a microphone, and there it was, looking at me. Trust me, I cringed.
Dog gone it… the whistle has gone to the dogs! and the birds!

Nano, that was frightening, each of the postings.
For all of you critics.

My whistles are tidy! Supremely in fact.

I have to go to whistle practice, keep it nice 'n fun while I’m gone.
Good one. Or maybe they need some company, as in “Whistle, stop. Somebody, anybody, please stop.”
For the whistle that wants to go to sea.
Speaking of having to tidy up, in this case cleanliness is not close
to godliness but preservation perhaps.

You’re not kidding! His shirt is undone too! And that little pig in front is strategically placed, if you ask me.
The more I look at that sign the creepier it is.
(It is, however, yet more evidence for the Ancient Piggish Triple-pipe).
A thought just occurred to me : @ Na Piobairi Uilleann there has been a n ongoing project compiling a piping iconography, a collection of Irish pipers (non photographic) in art, popular culture etc. throughout history. I have been contributing to that for some time. The collection has recently gone over 1500 items and continues to grow.
Is it worth proposing a new sticky thread doing something similar for the whistle?
Plenty of stuff around:
