Hey, I just got a PennyWhistle(Irish Tin Whistle), its kinda like a Recorder, but smaller. Anyway, the only Key I found was "D", does anyone know if they come in any other Key?

yeah they come in just about every key. finding them, however, is tough. i've got a C and a G. C is also popular. i ordered my G from a company i found on the net. Here (http://www.songsea.com/tinwhist.htm) is where i got it. they have a lot. unfortunately, the more different the whistle is, the more expensive it is. i'm having problems finding a metal one in E (i found it in plastic, and i just cant bring myself to spend $19 for a plastic one!)
http://www.thewhistleshop.com is also a good site to look at.

Just look on any Celtic instrument suppliers site. Here's another one. This one has a couple of metal ones in E. Lots of different prices... (wow some are expensive)

I never actually got around to learning my pennywhistle. My wife keeps saying that she's gonna learn when we have kids. She wants to get a mini-band going. :p
