Welcome. There are much more experienced people than me to help you here. Whichever good whistle you decide to buy, save some money for some cheap whistles so you can keep them handy.
How did you come to want to play the whistle? What type of music do you plan on playing? Are you going to play music with other people or by yourself? Can you play other instruments? All these questions will help other people answer your first question.
A Dixon Trad is a good beginner’s whistle.
This is a video comparing the sound of 7 different whistles:
-Waltons Irish Brass (D)
-Waltons Little Black (D)
-Tony Dixon Trad Brass (D)
-Generation Brass (D)
-Generation Nickel (D)
-Susato Dublin (D)
-Clarke Celtic (D)
When just beginning, you want to be sure to get a good inexpensive whistle, and not something that’s difficult to play and will quickly discourage you. I’ve played all of the whistles in the video provided by andremm and out of all those, the only ones I’d recommend are the Dixon Trad Brass or Susato Dublin. They’re both pretty easy to play, in good tune, and would be good to begin with. The others are so inconsistent in their manufacture, chances are very high that you’ll get a dud. Your chances of getting a decent whistle will increase greatly if you were to get one of the two I mentioned.
Another whistle I’d highly recommend (and probably over the other two) is the Dixon polymer tunable D. This is a really nice, easy playing whistle that will take you way beyond the beginner’s stage, and costs around $27 U.S. Very nice tone, very accurate, and they seem to be very consistent in quality from whistle to whistle.

thanks ballyshannon.
i have order a susato kildare high “D” ivory with my name engraved.
i hope that its quality will be good.
thanks
That’s a very good whistle. I’ve had one for years and still use it at sessions on occasion. Mine is the typical black.
Just an FYI, the Susato standard bore D (Kildare) isn’t the easiest for a beginner. The high end of the second octave is notoriously challenging for beginners and takes some effort and practice. I remember when I got mine, I hadn’t been playing long and it took a while to be able play it reasonably well. I just didn’t get discouraged, kept at it, and after a while was able to play it with no problems on the high end but it took some time, patience, and a lot of practicing. The Kildare is one of the louder whistles so I hope you have an understanding family…and pets 
This reply is in no way meant to discourage, but rather to make you aware of the challenges this whistle can present. You may not have any major trouble with the second octave and it’d be great if you don’t. But if you do, just be patient in the learning process and don’t be discouraged if the top two or three notes (G, A, & B) in the second octave squawk and scream at you in the beginning. It’s normal. Just keep at it and you’ll get the hang of it.

My English is so bad too!!!
I play a modified generation brass D. I modified it myself! The sound is good, simply I love it!
Fidi,
Kaixo! (Ez dakit euskaraz!)
