Big Whistle (Sheffield, GB) and Hobgoblin (also GB) sell whistle pouches, but you may be able to find them more locally via eBay or a folk music shop.
ETA: sorry, forgot to post the Big Whistle link:
I’ve used a drum stick bag and a custom made bag in the past. (Getting the roll right always seemed difficult to me. Michael Burke sells a nice one.)
Currently using a knife case. (Outer shell is a little harder and more protective.) Lots of folks go for the hard cases where you cut out the foam.
Hobgoblin music supply the generic black padded whistle pouches. I have a couple of them, and they’re well put together. The D whistle sized one is wide enough to hold a couple of whistles.
I actually use these myself: secondhand mill drill boxes, which arrive clean and in perfect condition. He only has opaque colours listed at the moment, but I bought a job lot of 25 clear ones at the beginning of the year, meaning I can see which whistle is which. Price was about the same, 50p each including postage.
You can buy new ones from packaging companies for about £1 each, if you can find one that sell retail rather than trade. There are a few of them around. The boxes are available in various sizes and maximum lengths.
I’m an American who plays Irish music on whistles made in Germany by an Englishman.
What culture would my whistles be objects of?
Richard, you left off the second part of my post. It completes my thought.
Even tools, for the craftsman, can become objects of great pride.This is a form of culture.
But music extends into the realm of culture, well beyond the tool that creates it. Is the hollowed out log the drumming? Or the import of it? More generically; Is the dancer the dance?
mumbling,
Bob
