Favourite highest pitch whistles and keys?

Whistle
1

Whenever I hear a well recorded ITM/Celtic, Renaissance or other tune with a quite high pitched whistle, it always sounds so refreshing, it adds a whole new dimension. These would be the whistles up in the key of high F, high G or higher, where the tone is clear and the whistle isn’t in the third octave, it’s playing melodies and doesn’t feel pinched or close to breaking up.

So what high pitch keys of whistle have you played that worked well and what whistle models/brands are good for this?

I have a late 19th century Wallis high-G that isn’t shrill at all.

Here’s a video of it I made in 2007:
