I paid a visit to my teacher last night who showed off his new case he’d just bought for £12. He’d got from The Early Music Shop in Chiltern St, London (also Bradford, Yorks) and apparently they have a lot and are selling them off cheap at £12 because they were intended for recorders but the maker made them the wrong size.
And guess what? They’re perfect low whistle size with three slots inside at 23.5" length being perfect for Overton low D and others. One slot has a little divider so you can have two lows and two highs or just three lows.
The case is made of black waterproof vinyl with padded velvet interior, carry handles and shoulder strap, plus zip on three sides. Flat, long rectangular shape.
The Early Music Shop take orders over the phone (020 7486 9101) with a credit card, or just call in. Probably better suited to our UK chiffers, but anyone o/seas can always enquire (www.e-m-s.com, or mail to: london@earlyms.demon.co.uk). They okayed me to announce this on C&F BTW.
