S1mon, could you post your transposition in D? Got a High and a Low and would love to try it in both ('specially the Low).
It's not in a postable format--what I have is on paper. I could turn it into a pdf easily enough, but not into text.
My version sounds good if you're playing with fiddles, etc, (it also has the original version) but the point above about the tune not sounding right without both the lows and the highs is correct.

However, transposing into another key is a bit of a problem, too, Even in D, that third octave d'' is a stretch, and transposing the whole tune up to get the low notes onto a whistle would send it well into the third octave, a place where whistles don't sound good, IMO.
