Newbie: Low D whistle question

Hi! Could use some help: I am wanting to get back into playing the whistle (used to play on a Clarke with the gold diamonds, but it's been lost). I do have a music background (I play piano and lever/pedal harp). My plan was (and still is) to get a high D whistle (probably a Dixon Trad). However, upo...
