Sean I have had quite a few sweetone whistles and can't remember one that needed tuning when new. I have had a couple go off afer some time and to get the mouthpiece off I stood that end of the whistle in some very hot water for a very short time. This seemed to expand the plastic and break the glue joint. The end could then be moved slightly to re- tune. I think I tuned to my wife's concertina but you should be able to manage with your reed tuner. You won't need to tune every note on the whistle just use the lowest and one midway to check all is well. I never attempted to re-glue the mouthpiece back on as the fit always remained tight enough. Do check out Chiff and Fipple as Sophoclese says. Good luck it's a great little instrument! KJ
