If you buy a C pennywhistle, though, you might want to find music for
recorder, as most of the pennywhistle books I've seen have music
written for the D pennywhistle (the beginning level books, at
least...but I'm a rank amateur with a pennywhistle. VERY rank!!!
<g>) Of course, if you know enough about music to look at something
written in D or G, can ignore the "this is how you finger this note"
diagrams, and transpose it into C, it probably doesn't matter what
book you're using to learn!
