Alright, I have pretty much given up on finding any sheet music of Video Game compositions that are transcripted specifically for the Irish Whistle (Key of D). I have just begun playing the instrument, and I wanted to play some video game music for nostalgic purposes.

Now, what I ask is this; what style of sheet music should I try to use for my whistle? Flute? Recorder? Piano? Remember, it is in the key of D. Any help with this at all would be heavily appreciated. :heh:

I have a penny whistle too! Mine is tuned in B flat though. But yeah, just choose anything in C major (but your 'C' sounds like a D because your whistle is tuned to a D), because if you choose other fancy keys, then you can't really play it with natural fingerings (i.e. you need to half hole all the accidental keys and etc...). So it doesn't really matter which instrument's arrange you get... As long as it isn't out of range.
