Welcome!
Here at The Whistle Shop, we are striving to make this the best one-stop-shop on the Internet for all your Celtic music desires. We specialize in whistles and whistle-related products - including whistles and tutorials from most major manufacturers and a Free Online Tutorial for beginners, but we certainly do not stop there. You'll find that we're always adding new instruments and books to our product lines. Many of the items in our Online Catalog are exclusive items - you won't find them anywhere else!


Long before its recent surge in popularity - fueled by performances in shows like Titanic, Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and Star Trek - the whistle has endured as a pure and wonderfully simple way of expressing one's self through song. Its melodies can be joyous or haunting, and are as unique from player to player as a singer's voice
