Okay, so I got my sweetones! Yay! Both the D and the C. The C I have only played a couple of times because I believe I need to learn the note holes all over again? Anyway, the D is WAY better than my squeaky but trusty Walton. I knew I was better than that! Anyway, I note that the mouthpieces come off altogether unlike my Walton. So, I’ve read a lot about tweaking but can anyone tell me simply what it is because I get the feeling it’s easy but info on the web seems to go into sooo much blah blah. Is is simply moving the mouthpiece up a little for a slightly more intuned whisle or moving it a bit side to side and how do I know when it’s tweaked? The whistle sounds good to me at least in tune with itself. Thanks in advance for your rootin tootin wisdom!
Tweaking can include all sorts of things. For the Sweetone, you shouldn’t really need to do much, if anything at all. You should be able to slide the head up or down to tune it, and that’s about it.
The main tweak people start with is putting putty in the gap under the windway. I wouldn’t bother with this on the Sweetone. Since it’s a little different head than other cheapies, I’m not even sure if it’s feasible to do the putty tweak on one. I’ll have to check mine out.
However, if your Walton is giving you fits, you might try it on that one.

I agree : no need to tweak a sweetone. They all play good as they are.
Moving the head will allow to to tune it, to change it’s pitch. That’s important if you play with another instrument that both instruments have the same pitch.

Well, I don’t know about the putty but it is feasible to put blue tac down there. Doesn’t make a lot of difference though. Slightly less breathy but not as much as I had hoped for. I should have gotten one of Freedman’s tweeked sweetones I guess. Maybe next time… 
A lot of the breathiness in the Sweetone comes from the conical shape of the body, not the head. By the way, I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone liking the Sweetone in C! Apparently they’re notoriously out of tune.
If you want something less breathy, you should look into a regular cylindrical whistle, like a Feadóg, Generation, Oak, etc. There are countless threads about which is the “best”.
If you’re ready to spend a little more money (around $50), I recommend a Mellow Dog with the additional C body from Jerry Freeman. It takes a bit of a light touch on the lower notes, but overall it’s easy to play and has a great tone. It’s one of my favorites, and you’ll find many positive reviews.
