Tomato Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I'm 17 years old, and I still cannot whistle. Therefor, the first person to give me a step by step ILLUSTRATED guide on how to whistle with your fingers(must be written by you..gotta make you work for your money) will receive an award of 100k gp. One more catch...it has to work. For years I've wanted to 2 finger whistle, but have never been able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 You gotta be kidding right? Nobody I know can whistle the same way using their fingers. It is all slightly varied from person to person :x With that, my guide is simply, trial and error till you get a whistling sound. Then just refine the technique :P Sorry, no pictures for you since it'd just be a continual string of images with fingers in various positions going... "then blow... get a sound? nope.. try another postion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizla Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 If you can whistle without using fingers you should be able to whistle with fingers. All the fingers do is create a 'shape' for the air to travel through, which produces a sound. Like Rick said, it's really tril and error. The way i do it is to use the thumb and middle finger on my right hand, some people use 2 index fingers...... meh. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 What darkrick said. I can't do it myself, mind, but I'm pretty sure that it's a cse of doing it and doing it and doing it, until it finally works one day. That's how almost everyone learns to whistle, how to click their fingers and how to do that owl impression. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrune Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well im not gunna draw pics and stuff cause im doing geography coursework and dont have time. Just tighten your lips as if you were gunna kiss someone... :lol: ... then create a small hole in which to the pass the air through. I think most people just blow and it doesnt work for em. You have to sort of push the air through the tight space not just blow. And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exarch Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I am 17 and I have never been able to whistle either! I don't play RS so I don't have any gold though, so I will just piggy-back on advice given to Tomato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Dragon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I look silly with my fingers going into my mouth. Its not working :oops: I can whistle without fingers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 *whistles as he reads the post* :twisted: Anyways, i think i can tell you how... unfortuantly, if i try and draw a pic, it could turn out looking bad... Anyways, here is my steps. 1. Make a mouth in the "o" shape. 2. Make thumb and index finger into a C shape(Find it works better with left hand) 2. Put thumb and index finger to sides of o mouth, pushing slightly making your mouth a little oval. Only put in about as much as your nails. 3.Blow a soft (But not to soft) steady stream of air. 4: Move mouth and fingures either tighter or looser. Thats about as elabrit as i can make it. try. (BTW im not being pregiduce (sp?) But i find that Trumpet players have better whistling skills then any other person.) Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Bmw Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (BTW im not being pregiduce (sp?) But i find that Trumpet players have better whistling skills then any other person.) Hey you play the trumpet? Same here. Unfortunately, I'm not a great whistler. I can make amazing pitches, and control the tone of my whistle like noone else, but it's not really a strong whitle...and I cant whistle with my fingers unfortunately. Lol. My highest note on the trumpet is 3rd C tho :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer806 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 do you need instructions on whistling with your lips, cuase i can do that pretty good. i can go in and out at the same pitch, you have to move your lips just a little to get it be the same because going in is a little lower pitch. anyway, i'd just do trials until you get it right, thats how i learned to whistle with my lips.
