Whistle-shops in Israel?

My mother is travelling to Israel on February. She is going to travel across the country.. Does anyone know any shop where she can buy a whistle for me? I’m not looking something odd, just a Walton’s Mellow D or a Dixon Trad..

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Well, I don’t know about shops in Israel… But I recently bought my Feadog from lollysmith.com and I know that Waltons can be bought via musiciansfriend.com .

Thanks!
I actually know where can I buy those through internet, but living in Argentina I can’t pay a whistle+shipping so easily. Even less if the whistle is just for 10-30 dollars (it isn’t worth). Plus, I don’t have credit card :laughing:

I just want to take advantage of this opportunity and ask my mother for a whistle once she’s staying there.

Cheers,
Martin

A few ideas for you, Martin …

There are a few active C&F members in Israel. If you e-mail or PM to them, maybe they can help:

Over at www.thesession.org, there are a few other people you can try:

You could try asking Phil Hardy at www.kerrywhistles.com. I know he has visited Israel, and he probably knows where ALL the whistle shops are! His e-mail is phil@kerrywhistles.com

There are a few Israeli bands that play Irish music, including Black Velvet and Evergreen, and Evergreen have a web page with contact info at www.evergreen.org.il

Finally, there are sessions at Molly Bloom’s Pub in Tel Aviv. If your mother can go there or contact the pub on a session night, maybe someone can recommend a music store with whistles. http://www.molly-blooms.com
