The advantage of a recorder is that you can (with a C recorder) play in D with mostly the same fingerings, give or take a few depending on the make and model, as the pennywhislte–still do all the embellishments–AND have very easy fingerings for spot-on sharps and flats.
The disadvantage is that it is a lot easier to play the pennywhistle than it is the recorder.
This has to be a troll, right?

Ideally it would have gone better in the World/Folk Winds Forum, I think.
So does that mean one can play Benny Goodman on the Recorder?
We might rather ask ourselves if one ought to.
Oh come on. Where’s your sense of adventure? 
If it sounds superbly silly, I might buy it. Otherwise I might claw my eyes out, I’m thinking.
Is anyone here a member of the American Recorder Society? (It is indeed abbreviated ARS, in case any UK members were wondering.) Their website has links to local chapters and groups/consorts. I like Irish music better, with its solo playing and tight unison, but some of the harmony and polyphony playable on recorders is too good to be left in the past. The music of Purcell, Charpentier, Palestrina, des Pres, and J-B Lully. The music that influenced J.S. Bach. It’s good stuff is all I’m saying.

I am 
I am as well. And the Seattle Recorder Society (though I really need to re-up for this year).
This could be the start of a nasty episode of McCarthyism in the tranquil world of Chiffdom

Hi, I’m new here and I am from Poland.I discovered tin whistle couple of months ago and this is really great instrument! I enjoy playin recorder, too. There are two tin whistles and six recorders in our house. and two guitars and one mini-clarinet I’m happy to find this forum and to be with you!
Welcome Polish Lady!
I love Poland and for me Krakow is the second most beautiful European city after Prague.
Do you have any recorders?
Hi Adrian, there are ONLY six recorders in my house, and three of them are mine. I’ve got yamaha plastic, heinrich-adler venus and polish t&s.Now i’m thinkig about buying alto-yamahas are about 20$ in Poland.
Yamaha Altos look, feel and play very nice IMO. In Poland I have seen the Yamaha altos in a very attractive cream colour but in the UK they are normally brown.
Did you find whistles in Poland or did you buy them mail order?
Do you play any of the Polish folk whistles or flutes? You have quite a variety there. Many I saw were similar to Ukranian whistles.
My grandpa was from Bielarus and he always brought wooden whistles for me when i was in preeschool.About my whistles-they are Polish, made in Poznan.But there are some “classic” whistles in Poland.It’s possible that we go to the US this year,so i can buy something nice. I think i’m not very musical person but i just love music, folk and early music being my favourites. Have you ever heard the Polish musician Joshko Broda playing his wooden whistles?
I have heard recordings of Joshko and his father with other musicians in Hungary. He plays many many instruments.
One of the things I love about living and travelling in Europe is that there are so many kind of whistles and flutes and endless styles of playing.
