The topic of finding a decent stand for multiple whistles comes up here from time to time and I recently found something inexpensive over on Etsy. Basically it’s a a simple wood base that’s been finished with a coat or three of what looks like some sort of poly finish. This base has 20 peg holes drilled into it and, surprise, 20 dowel rods roughly fitting the holes are included. I say “roughly fitting” because some fit into the peg holes well enough, but some were too loose and others fit way too tightly. This isn’t a big deal considering the price, particularly if you are planning to glue the dowels in place. A small container of wood glue is supplied for just that purpose.
The stand will hold whistles from at least Soprano Eb to Low D, I don’t have any whistles higher or lower than that to test.
Cost was $15 plus $11 for shipping to my destination, plus a few more bucks for the tax man.
All things considered, I think it’s a pretty good option for someone wanting/needing a basic stand to hold a bunch of whistles. Certainly nothing fancy looking, and you could make one cheaper if felt like going to the trouble, but for those who want something without going to the trouble, there you go.
