Whatever you do, please record it and send an mp3 to Clips and Snips so we can all hear it. The site will be online again within a couple of days. You can email the file to me any time so I can upload it asap.

Since the recorder is chromatic, and the whistle is semi-chromatic, I'd think that you can use whatever whistle works best for the key of the song. The fact that the alto recorder is in F doesn't really matter - actually, for certain keys (Eb for example), it's a heck of a lot easier to play on an Eb whistle than an F recorder.
As for mixing the two, it really works. I know a few folk on this board look at the recorder with distain, but I've always considered it an advantage to be fluent in both. Both whistles and recorders are good children, and play well with others...

I vote for the C whistle with the F recorder(or vise-versa). They are both in the "F major triad"(F-G-C),are a major 5th apart and a great deal of recorder sheet music covers duets in these 2 keys.
Major triad keys are seperated in intervals of 1-3-5 or root-3rd-5th.To be more precise they are seperated by 4 semitones and 3 semitones respectively on the equal temperment scale.
Jessie K's "G" whistle mix works because the guitar is tuned to an E scale and a G whistle is in the E major triad of E-G-B but also in the C triad of C-G-E.
Would you consider "shaving" the upper tube of a Bb whistle to make a B whistle Jessie? It would be a perfect match a 5th above the guitar(E-G-B). An "A" Recorder/Fife with baroque fingering would also do the trick.
Of course there are other minor and augmented triads that will work,but the fingering would be more complex.
