Just a total beginner trying to make some music.

Not a bad start at all, Boog. Here are some suggestions you might try and experiment with.
o Flatten the fingers of your top hand so that the fingers are not bent and you’re playing more with the pads of the fingers instead of the tips. In other words, make your top hand look more like your bottom hand.
o When you play the upper notes A and above especially, support/balance the whistle at the bottom by resting your bottom pinkie finger on the whistle. The Bb whistle is large-ish, but your hands look large enough to handle it. Alternately, you can use your ring finger on the B3 hole for support. May seem awkward at first, but after a while moving the pinkie on and off the whistle becomes second nature.
o Watch your intonation. Unlike fretted instruments, whistles need to be blown into tune by adjusting breath pressure for each note. The Generation more or less plays itself, but your intonation is erratic on the larger windway Susato. Experiment with blowing a bit harder or softer to bring troublesome notes into tune and the octave notes in tune with each other.
Good luck!
Thanks very much for the tips, much appreciated

That’s nice, and my hand feels more relaxed. It feels a little odd, but I’m sure that will go away after a few days. I’m working away on the Low D as well. The bagpipe grip feels really strange, but it’s the only way I can cover the holes … that will take a little longer to get used to

Sounds good!
