[NSP] Questions on D Chanter

I followed the discussion on G chanters and have basic questions on D 
chanters. I think I know the answers but want to confirm them.

1) Is the D chanter lower pitched than an F#ish chanter? (down a 3rd)
2) Are the notes absolute, non transposing, like a recorder? example, 
written low G on an F# chanter is with only the R little finger up. 
That same fingering on a D chanter would be written low D and would 
sound as such.

Thanks
Jack
