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

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...

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?:

1. Here
2. There
3. Everywhere
4. (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.
