The Dark Island - played on my home made low D whistle

You can find the story of me making this whistle, including a link to the instructions here:

The whistle is not fully finished but I wanted to get a recording of it. I still have to cut the mouthpiece to shape and do the final adjustment on the lip. A couple of notes need pulled up slightly as well.

It took me about 2.5 hours to make using a piece of one inch TV antenna tubing and the end of an old broom handle.

I have added another video of the completed instrument:
