I have a couple of Chieftains. A couple of things I noticed.
1. if it's a tunable version. tune on a middle tone and try the key note and its octaves again.
2. I found that the octave key note (your D' on the D whistle) is best played with XXXXXX fingering rather than OXXXXX; but, I have to make sure all of the holes have good seals.
Hope this helps and ...
