My whistles are standing up on a board that has wooden pegs. Well that’s where they are supposed to be, but they tend to get left wherever I played them last. I’ve heard mention on the message board about coffee cans and vases and now I am curious about other peoples whistle homes.
At this point, mine are in a vase (well, as with yours, that’s where they are SUPPOSED to be!). I try to keep them all in one place, but the kids tend to leave them around more than I do. Although, MY whistle tends to “follow” me wherever I go in the house. 
Mine live in the bag I take to work each day in case I get the urge to have a bit of a play during my lunch hour. That said, I only have 3, so my bag is hardly full of whistles

But only one at a time
Seriously do you mean that half finished ones or the playable ones? The half finished ones are scattered all over my work bench, and there’s a body of one clamped on my drill press, the playble ones sit in a small “silver” bathroom garbage can next to my desk…
at least your farts are musical.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist…
‘pull my finger…’
I was going to reply to this thread…nevermind :roll:
On the keyboard in the gap between the number keys and F1-F12 row.
Do half finished ones constitute a “Whistle”? I suppose it does if one looks at it and sees a finished whistle. You have a small silver bathroom? 
You decadent person you.
So what homes do we have now?
Peg board
Vase
Bag
Silver garbage can
Keyboard
Coffee can
All over the house
Gee, we could have made this a poll.
My whistles are in two places - most are stored on a shelf in a large display cabinet, cheapies in glass vases and the others directly on the shelf. The everyday players are hung in a whistle carry bag on the doorknob of the room where I practice most - these are Copeland D, O’Riordan D/C, Burke black tip D, C, SIndt C, and Busman delrin. My new Syns get transported back and forth between the cabinet and the room. Im angling for an entire whistle room, but it doesn’t look good.

I was thinking about that:
Where do you keep your whistles?:
- Here
- There
- Everywhere
- (my favorite) All of the above.
Mine are “kept” (usually pretty good about returning them) in a lovely roll made expressly for that purpose that is tethered to the central fixture of the main room of the house (the woodstove)… I have to go by it for just about everything I do in the house, so it’s perfect … as long as the weather doesn’t get actually cold… It being the tail end of September, and us being in the upper right quarter of Missouri (pronounced “mizery”), guess I’d best start thinking of relocating that!
So… Does you dog need a new, and more roomy and comfortable house??.. then you wouldn’t mind being sent to join him for a while… just a thought 
I have a closet with a wire rack for the whistles.
One in my desk drawer. One on the night table next to my bed. One in the car. The jubilee low-D on the desk next to the computer monitor. It doesn’t fit anywhere, so it just sits out. The rest in a cloth bag hanging from the dresser.

My “other” 
whistles are scattered about-- many in an old tin bucket which they share with some NA flutes, fifes, a PVC Quena, etc.
The whistles in progress in my shop are on a couple of wooden sewing thread racks mounted on the wall. These are really terrific for this purpose.
I have one rack with 12 pegs for the 12 Generations and second rack with 8 pegs for other whistles. I also have 2 in the car, 5 in the briefcase, 1 on my computer armoire shelf, and about 6 on top of the armoire. There are a few more in unknown places.
The 1 Olwell flute is also in the briefcase.

Usually two or three whistles are on the desk and one is on the night stand next to the bed. At times one is in my truck and/or on the end table next to the sofa. Others are in a chest of drawers in the living room. Although generally organized, I’m new to whistling and haven’t yet determined a good way or place to keep them organized, convenient, and safe. Eventually I’ll come up with a system that works for me and opened this thread looking for suggestions.
I cleaned out a little plastic container that once held some wet-wipe thingies and now all my whistles are SUPPOSED to go in there. Typically they are wherever I end up leaving them when I take a break from playing (which could be nearly anywhere)
My Sweetone D lives in the car. My Burke D, Hoover D and Jerry-tweaked Gen D live in a quilted whistle-roll my wife made; my Busman Ds live in the little synthetic-fleece pouches they came in. All of those sit on a bookshelf. My Burke low D stands upright in a display cabinet (just inside the door where I can reach it easily). My Serpent Bb (still available for sale or trade, btw) stands next to the low D.
