Just got a couple of very nice whistle rolls from Cavallaro case company. They make cases for simple flutes, recorders, etc. but had nothing that worked well for lots of whistles.
I emailed with them and they took the standard 9 slot case and made it 16" long. They also used Fastex quik-release buckles instead of the standard threaded nylon buckles.
Each slot can hold 2-3 whistles and it compresses down to about 6" diameter with a nylon carrying handle.
It's cordura outside and nylon shearling inside, good for insulation and padding.
Nice case and great folks to deal with. If they get much interest, they're willing to make it a "standard" model.

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

I've looked all over for multi-whistle cases and could never find anything I could afford that had the features I wanted, until one day I was arranging my accordion straps, which hang right next to the drum department, and I found myself staring at a TKL drumstick case. The more I stared, the more an idea began to percolate. Just then some dum CUSTOMER grabbed it and took it up to the front counter. I followed, frothing at the mouth, and asked Craig to special order one for me. I have it now - it's inexpensive, it's zippered all around, it has 3 stitched separate compartments on one side and one wide compartment on the opposite side, and it is just long enough to hold every whistle I play regularly, right down to my low F. I saw one last week that also had an exterior compartment, but I don't think I'd use that - I like the security of the zipper. I also like that it doesn't fold over and I don't have to fool with ties - I feel the same way about them as I do about drawstring pants. Easy access, that's my motto - zip and go.

I have one of Tuffbags deluxe model whistle bags for sale on another thread http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php ... forum=1&14
It was supposed to have a total of 14 slots but it had 16. I thought the slots for the high D length whistles were tighter than I liked. Rather than sending it back I tried to turn two slots into one and it didn't work so there's a "visual imperfection" inside the bag that does not affect the servicability and cannot be seen from the outside. Actually perfect other than that and hasn't been used. If anyone is interested, I can send it on approval and if you keep it you send me the money, otherwise you send it back and you are only out postage

While at Sam Ash today (bore cleaning rods, etc.), I checked out some drum stick cases, including a really cool coffin case. After pricing and really thinking about it though, I realized I still like Nancy Farrell's rolls best of all. Haven't seen her post in a while and don't know if she's still making bags, but she's made two custom jobs for me that are wonderful and great value.
