I just got my two Sweetones in the mail, and I love them!!! 
Chiffy enough, pure enough, breathy enough… just the right balance to everything.
I’m very pleased.
Congratulations Heather! Nothing like getting a new whistle, much less two! Guess you’re celebrating Thanksgiving a wee bit early, eh?

I like Sweetones too, and have had good luck with them. They seem pretty consistently good.
In spite of what others have posted, I have yet to play a bad one.
Best,

Oh, I tell you, they are GREAT! I think I have finally found my perfect whistle… they have the perfect balance of everything I had wished I could find a whistle with…! lol
They are now laughingly called Al and Merv. he he he. 
Yep, Sweetones are a good, reliable, inexpensive whistle. If you think they are the “perfect whistle”, then for God’s sake don’t try a Sindt or Water Weasel in D, because your golden idol will be desecrated very, very quickly.
