Big Whistle Music

http://www.bigwhistle.co.uk/

Really nice online shop specialising in Low Whistles, but a lot of other whistle-related articles can be found here, as well as bodhrans. The shop features the largest catalogue of tutor material I have ever seen. The design of the site is great, featuring a search engine for the type of whistle you are after. It is also the only site I know of that lets you type in your currency in advance so as to know the price of the articles before putting it in a shopping cart. I bought a Howard Low D starter pack here. I had a bit of a problem with the whistle, which at hindsight was probably caused by the carrier in my country. The shop owner proved a scholar and a gentleman. We had a pleasant exchange of emails, and I was more than compensated for my trouble. If you want to buy a whistle or a tutor for it, do stop by at this site!

Palm Guitars, antique and used musical instruments. Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (Nederland)	http://www.palmguitars.nl/
Shop owned by Soren Venema. It is right across the Amstel from where I work. I don't come here often, since being in there severely aggravates my IAS (Instrument Acquiring Syndrome). The shop is so full of vintage instruments (including bouzouki's , mandocello's, etc.) that you must literally watch your steps. When in Amsterdam, don't miss this.

Welcome to Hampe & Berkel Muziek	http://www.berkelmuziek.nl/
When you are in Amsterdam, visit this shop near the Central Station. It is the only shop in the Netherlands I know of that has actual bouzouki's and citterns you can hold in your hands and play before you buy one. Mostly Fyldes, but sometimes second-hand instruments of other makers. They have all kinds of other treasures as well. This is the shop where I buy all my consumables.
