My father taught it to me when I was 9 years old, we called it “the howl”. Because his hands were bigger than mine he would make deeper whistles and I made higher ones, so together we'd do the baby owl and the papa owl :) Thank you for the memories that resurfaced.

This whistle can actually be quite a bit more complicated than it looks. When I was 14 years old at summer camp I remember trying at it for hours, while the counselors teaching me just kept saying “Just make the same hand position I am.” It is not that simple. I now can make the sound, but there are several rules people won’t teach you about it. Firstly, your thumbs will need to be parallel to each other, you will need to blow onto the knuckles like you are kissing them, and most importantly you will need to blow DOWN. This means your thumb nails should be touching your face. If you are learning from another person who can do the whistle, ask if you can blow on their hand whistle to see if you are blowing correctly. If you can succeed on theirs but not on your own whistle, then it is your hand shape that needs work-otherwise it may be you are blowing incorrectly. And onto hand technique- what most people do not emphasize is the need for there to be no gaps for air in the fingers of the right hand (if you are right handed and whistling in the way she is in this video) You can whistle with the hands switched, which may possibly be easier for lefties? I can do it both ways, but I learned to do it with the right hand on top. The place I have found air most likely to escape is where the fingertips touch the swoop between index finger and thumb of the bottom hand. To get rid of this problem, you can either close the top hand a little further over the bottom, which will result in a shriller whistle, or you can try squeezing the right hand fingers ever so slightly with the left hand index finger and thumb which could help eliminate cracks and will give a deeper whistle. The last major thing most people won’t tell you when trying to teach this whistle is that it is okay to shake your hands out. Sometimes you just won’t get the hand formation right, and it is easier to simply let the whistle go, shake your hands out and then try again, rather than adjusting your fingers. Edit: Wearing rings on the left hand can affect your ability to perform this whistle- if you want to keep your ring on your whistle may have to be shriller because the space between your hands will be smaller if you are accounting for the ring potentially creating gaps in the fingers of your left hand. If the edge of your right hand is connecting to the upper palm of your left, rather than the fingers, rings won’t be an issue. The whistle will be of a higher pitch, however.

I'm a lefty and I cup my left hand on the outside with my knuckles facing away from me /right hand interiorly positioned with knuckles facing the sky. Line my thumbs together and leave an empty pocket like you're making a bowl out of your hands for the air to go. Gently press your right hand fingers onto your left hand to get the desired sound and move your left fingers away from the rest of your hand to make other pitches. Hope I'm describing that so you can visualize it :/ (Right handed people reverse your dominant hand to be on the outside and your left hand interiorly positioned)

Turn the cap over so it’s like a tiny cup or bowl. Put both of your thumbs tightly over the hole so your fingers seal up the “bowl” except for a very small gap in between your thumbs. Now place the folded parts of your thumbs in your lips, making sure that if you blow, the air can travel into the acorn “bowl” and out again, so don’t completely stick the whole thing in your mouth. It takes a few tries to get it but the effects are pretty loud!

Sometimes, I have difficulties, mostly when my hands are too cold, dry or wet. It helps to rub my hands against each other or against my trousers before I start. Also, make sure you have a good hollow between your hands. The most important part is putting your lips around your thumps' knuckles and blowing from there. If you are too low, it doesn't work. Play with the tension in your fingers while pressing them together or how to position them together. It also makes a difference how strongly you blow into it. Like playing on a flute, you have to figure out how much force you need. It takes much experimentation and patience until you get it right. A pre-exercise that can help get a feeling for getting sounds out of hollow objects is to blow into different-sized bottles and see if you can make a sound. @@schaapbeeh1135

I live in Australia and learnt this whistle as a child. We lived in a rainforest and as children we played outside. As we explored and played whenever someone, (usually and adult) whistled we had to reply with our own whistles. This was the adults way of knowing where we were in the rainforest. Or if you had lost your way, whistle and the replies should help guide you to someone. If you didn’t reply via whistle, when called you would get into big trouble because someone could be lost or an adult would get angry…

It's not too hard, just learning how hard to blow air with how opened your hands are can help you get range towards higher pitches. Getting even lower pitches is the hard part though. I can hit even higher notes than the video includes, but my control is nowhere near her control.

Honestley I don't care about the whistles This video is just so relaxing

As a young child, I came upon this quite accidentally while standing in a lake shivering during some swimming lessons. I was blowing in my hands to keep them warm while awaiting my turn to demonstrate my stroke and kick when suddenly a noise came out. My cousin and I practiced this noise until we eventually were able to imitate and call to the mourning doves. I managed to eventually be able to "whistle" a simple children's song, but not very well. We were satisfied with the ability to call to the doves. This is amazing and as soon as the video began, my cat pricked up her ears and got very attentive.

I haven't done this since I was a small child. My grandfather taught me... 60+ years later I find your video - after two minutes of huffing and puffing - it all came back:) Thank you for sharing this wonderful and ancient gift of humanity!

One way to achieve higher tones is to start with a higher pitched hand position. In her demo the lady talked about a relaxed grip between the left and right hands. This sets the lowest pitch that you can create. In fact your low-end range is determined by the size of your hands. Bigger hands can create lower pitches. Conversely higher pitches are achieved by creating a smaller cavity between your palms. It takes quite a bit more control and effort than the lower pitches. Instead of being relaxed you have to have a very tight grip in order to constrict the cavity to the size of a large marble. Keep practicing 😊❤

Here are some tips I found while trying to do this: Make sure all your fingers are air tight! Adjust them as you're blowing into it so that you can see what works best, when you hear even the slightest sound, keep it there and make tiny adjustments. Make sure your thumbs are parallel to the ground, if there is too much tilt toward you, or away from you, you won't be able to make the sound. Open your hands and shake them out every once in a while, it's hard and your fingers need breaks! Wash your hands every once in a while, they work better doing this dry and clean Good luck guys!

One word of advice, if you find you are doing it; try to not clench your hands tightly. Hold them like you have something fragile in your hands. This way you can adjust your hands accordingly.

I practised for weeks, watched every video and tried everey technique and couldn´t do 1 single note after weeks of practising. But finally I can do little sounds. For everyone who tries this hours, days, weeks and years. You will finally make it!

Hello! The whistling language is still used to this day in the canary islands in Spain. Commonly known as Silbo gomero. Loved the video, and a warm hug from a fellow viewer from Spain !

I remember seeing the documentary about this island, incredible, the children learn the technique at school, sounds rather like that childrens series they used to have called the 'Clangers' whistiling mice who lived in space.

I too have done this since a kid. I'm 43 now. Recently I taught a guy I work with how to do it. It's been about two weeks now and he's getting quite good! For me, it all started with a dove call. I then learned to play some songs. I can actually play silent night! I hope more people learn this and enjoy it! Much love and peace to everyone 💜

What a great video, I have been doing this simce about 9 years old. My daughters just learned this whistle from me today so we searched hand whistles. After 35 years you taught me something new about this whistle, how to acheive the high notes, prior I could only do the owl whistle. Also my 9 year old said "She is so pretty" sending love and good energy to you and your beautiful piece of the world from Virginia USA from my family and I. Thanl you for the wonderful video

I can't believe it! It worked! I've done that as a 10/12 year old child the last time - I'm 64 now! It's so much fun, thank you for bringing back the memories to a long forgotten skill. Have a wonderful fall/winter in Sweden 🤗👍💜✌️

I feel my Swedish ancestors rejoice of my vild vissla. Love all your posts and I get goosebumps every time I watch you. I feel so connected to that part of my heritage when I watch your vlogs. It brings such joy. You are such a bright beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing you life, light and talents with the world!

I like the big reverb. When you whistle like that, the animals are stilled with bewildered enchantment. ❤️ When I whistle like that, the neighbors call Bellevue Hospital 🥴

I was taught this exact method in South Africa. I was about 7 or 8 years old. My father taught me this. We would use this later when I started hunting with him, to communicate with each other over distances. I haven't tried this since I left the military back in 1989. Now, at 55, this has brought back a flood of memories. Thank you so much for this reminder. And your whistle is AMAZING. You make it look so easy. Thank you 😊

My mother taught me this when I was little Kid!!! Everytime we were in nature we tried to do the sound. I was soooo funny. But I learned to do just the Basic sound, not the higher tones. Thank You for your tutorial. I traveled thru the time, I visited my childhood again. ❤️

Me again I just keep watching the same video that you made over and over! I know that I’ve seen it before many times but I can’t stop watching it because of its tranquility and it takes me forever back to the memories I had so many years ago. Such a beautiful scene and story and place! Thanks ! 🙏 I will keep watching.

wow, ....I got chills running down my spine when I heard you make this beautiful nature sound. and I was surprised how easy it was to do it myself !! So, thank you . TAK !!

Edit: AFTER 2 HOURS OF PRACTICE I WAS ABLE TO CREATE MY FIRST SOUND! 🙏🤩😍 Wow, this motivates me to try it over and over again until I can do it as well, because listening with my lips is easy for me 🤩 Congrats on learning the other technique! I feel so bad not being able to reproduce any real sound after 10 minutes of trying 🥲

Your voice is so calming. This is the best video of hand calling I’ve seen. 😊

Jonna, stumbled on your tutorial. My mother taught us to do this whistle though not nearly as well as you! Mom raised 5 sons the sound of her whistle meant come for dinner or come to the store to pull the grocery wagon home. Your example creates a puzzle as to where she came by this skill. I don’t remember ever hearing others using this . We knew who was calling and dropped what ever we were doing to follow her call. Thank you for your joyful video.

I showed this whistle to my dog ever since she was 4 weeks old. I could do this out in the forest and she would come back to me every time, and she knew it was me♥️

It’s amazing how many people from around the world come and listen to what you have to say Jonna. You truly are an astonishing creator, and what you produce is breathtaking, thank you!

Beautiful!! I remember my sister teaching me how to do this when we were little, i was 5 or 6, she 9 or 10. I could do it a little bit, but nowhere as good as she did it. ❤ Thanks for this memory.. shes been gone from this life for 14 years.. this brought her close again. ❤

My father who is Norwegian descent, his family migrated to Germany, then to the Netherlands, and from there right before WWII, to the Caribbean to a small Dutch island, where i was born. He taught me this, and told me that it's been something all kids learned from their parents for generating, mostly from their fathers. I learned it when I was 7 walking on the beautiful white beaches right behind my home. Thank you for this, it reminded me of my amazing dad RIP, and my mother country 😊 🙏 😍

Sure, I'm happy to share an update :) I am able to change volume and pitch by opening/closing my left hand, but I'm nowhere close to Jonna's level yet. I'm working on having better control and a clear tone. I find it useful to line up the inside edge of my palms before closing my hands to create the little box- it helps me create a good seal. You can maybe try to adjust the shape of your hands as you blow (even if it just sounds airy) to get a better idea of the right way to hold your hands. You will notice the hint of a whistle when you start to get it right. You don't have to blow mega hard, either. I hope you get a sound soon! It's fun :)

@zvezdoblyat

​@@Laringtthe base sound comes from 3 things: the amount of space between your hands, how your thumbs are positioned l, and how much space you leave between your thumbs. If you know how to whistle with your lips, draw the connection between these two methods. Don't blow too hard, it doesn't help. Good luck!

My grandmother taught me the bass tone when a child. I had never heard the sounds you make. Thanks for the lesson. It's a beautiful sound you make. I dedicate my first whistle to my grandmother. She was Irish. Nelle.

You make things possible. You already inspired me to balance stones and it looks unreal. I tried this whistle for like half an hour a phew times in my life. I wached this video and I got a sound for the first time after trying for five minutes.

On the island of Gomera, in Spain, there is a “language” called “silbo gomero”, which uses the whistle as a medium of communication between people who are at a long distance. It is a code that is translated from Spanish and can communicate complex phrases exclusively with the whistle

This brings back childhood memories 😊

I was in grade school, a young boy about seven or eight years old when a school mate showed me how to do this kind of whistling using my hands as you have shown in this video. I'm now 71 years old and still do this whistling every now and then. People look at me & ask how do you do that , so I show them. There amazed that it works. I'm pretty sure that the native Americans probably used this method for something, to call on one another or to call to their horses. Thank you for your video. It brings back good memories ❤.

I do these too, call them loon calls. Best part is, is when it’s really late at night near a still lake and you hear an actual loon after you’ve made the call. The echos are also incredible.

I just want to say thanks from the bottom off my heart, I live very high up in mountains in the west of Ireland and it sound incredible you can hear the echo and sometimes, you get a call back from a dog or even luckier... A FOX!

my name is Jonas. I love your channel! Thanks Jonna, for spreading peace and connection to nature...

I got it! After two months I finally got it! Thanks for teaching such a cool skill.

I learnt by myself as I was a child… but not so far like you . MERCI JONNA 🌺💗💎 I imagine all your followers on earth whistleblowing with you 💎💗

I DID IT JONNA I DID IT One of my friends shared me the video when it came out. I practiced it for a week and only the thing came out is air and lots of saliva on my hands 😅 and after that I just forgot about it. Now your KZread short on it just popped in my shorts and I came back to this video and practiced it again. Within 15-20 mins I started manking some sound. After 30 mins now I can almost control it. An airy sound is still there but with more practice I can make it smooth. I was soo excited when I first made the sound. Thanks for the wonderful and aesthetic tutorial. Your place is sooo aesthetic. Feels like I just want to come straight to there only to practice my hand whistling 😅. The wonderful and pleasing whistling sounds combined with the gorgeous and aesthetic nature ( just like you 😅 ) makes this video a mesmerizing experience to our eyes and ears. It just gives me goosebumps. Thank You ✨✨✨
