I always used PVC. I'd get a pair of endcaps, glue one on, and notch the other, so I'd know which end came off. I glued foam rubber into the endcaps to cushion the whistle and made sure the tube was cut to fit the whistle exactly. This way, I had a nearly indestructible case that fit into a backpack...

I'm sorry, but the first image I got in my head was of the Seven Dwarfs returning from work...Whistling.

It would work equally as well on plastic, and most softer metals, but you need a very sharp or a diamond file to take care of harder ste...

Anyway, the crux of the issue is this: I have recently begun to craft my own whistles out of various materials. I starte...
