Looking for a Low D whistle case...

Whistle
1

Hello again.

I have found my new love… a low D whistle, and I am looking for a case for the new instrument. Today I searched around online and couldn’t find what I was looking for, because there are mostly just pouches for the instruments. I would like to try and find a case that would hold 1 or more low d whistle and at least one high d whistle as well. Does anyone know where I can find a good case? Thanks! :smiley:

Oh… and the low D I have is a Kerry with the black head, so it is pretty long… thanks scottie for the wonderful instrument!

You might try looking at some pool stick hard cases. I think they would
work well.

I made a couple of cases with PVC pipe. You can get end pieces and simply glue them in place. One end with a twist on piece the other with a blank. It took no more than 15 minutes to make one. I put a piece of foam rubber down the end and place another small piece in after the whistle. This keeps the whistles from rattling about.

I store a high whistle inside the body of a low whistle - just use a small piece of kitchen tissue around the whistle body to stop it rattling and protect it..

The cases are VERY strong - you could stand on them no problem. I am in the process of working on a shoulder strap so I can more easily carry the things. Another advantage is very low cost - and if you got a good hardware store you get to choose the colour of the tube, usually though only black white or grey.

I have the “WHISTLE HARDCASE, padded, black” that I like very much. See:

Bigwhistle.com has a similar whistle/flute hardcase (3rd page I think), and many more too:

I found some great fly rod cases in Cabela’s clearance section- I think they call it the Cave. Some still had sleeves for individual rod parts which work well for whistle collections. I was able to find sizes to fit both high whistles and low whistles (and flutes). If you want a custome case, here’s a link to a company that seems pretty reasonably priced:

I found a really great solution for my Copelands (high and low D)

It is a Bass Bow Case like this one here

This picture doesn’t reall show the spacers that are built into the case, I’ll try to get some pictures of my actual rig to show how it may work for you. But It will hold a Low d and a High D, a Polishing Cloth, Slide Grease and Wooden Coffee Stirrers (for windway cleaning) all easily, snugly, and has a nice “tolex” exterior a and locking latches. It is a little shorter than Pool Que cases, which would have been over kill by a few inches or so.

These are pictures of both whistles in their case with and without the polishing cloth to see more clearly.

I always store/travel with them with the cloth around the Low D to keep them from rubbing/denting eachother while they are in the case.

As you can see, the spacers in the case that would normally separate the bows do a very nice job at keeping the whistles fairly snug in their place. :thumbsup:

Here’s what I use.

That’s a fully assembled Dixon low D on the bottom, so a low D will fit.
As you can see, it holds much more though.

You can find this case on eBay for just under $35 USD. Here’s the link:

I have a rod case that would hold 3 low D whistles for sale. I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago.
