The Jubilee Instrument Co. 6-key low-D flute.  With the DE Series whistle headjoint, you can play it as a whistle.  If has a comfortable feel to the hands and a strong low end.

It a Flute or a Whistle (depends on mouthpiece used) 

It's chromatic and it's your choice.

6-Key design - Normally open key for the 'D' note,
Normally Closed keys for D#,  long F, G#, A# & C.

Do you already play a Low-D?, if so then this is easy to learn.   All of the open holes are just like a Low-D, the bottom hole has a key so that we can make a very large 'E' hole for a more powerful low end.  So you can play this like a Low-D with ornamentation as usual, except for the bottom tonehole.  Once you get used to it, you can do some interesting ornaments with keys as well.
