Whistling with your fingers

This is my first instructable. (rate please :)) I'm going to teach you how to whistle loudly with your fingers! Then you will be able to whistle at baseball games, concerts, weddings, etc. or its just fun to piss off your friends. I will try to go in as much detail as I can. This is one of those things that you will get eventually if you try hard enough. Some people will get it immediately and some people will never get it. If you want more info there's probably a ton of it on the internet, I just didn't bother to check.

-Be aware that you are blowing air forcefully. It shouldn't take a lot of air to do the whistle when you've got it down, but when starting out never over-do it. At first you might feel dizzy, but I had a friend who kept trying and he eventually passed out. You should know when to you need to stop-

Step 1 Lips

The actual whistling sound isn't made with the lips. I see some people try it and they squeeze their lips together like a normal whistle. If you do that you'll just end up spitting all over the place. Lips stay relaxed, and curl over your teeth, so when you put your fingers in your mouth, they will not touch the teeth at all. Also, your lips should be wet.

I have always wanted to do this, read the instructions once and within 30 seconds was whistling loudly! thanks man, it worked for me. I've been holding my tongue in the wrong place the whole time...

I think it is kinda confusing and you gotta make it more easier to follow"

[Kelsy101]

I know I don't think that these are the right steps

[norsehorse]

What makes it confusing?

[sajada]

This is hard.

[norsehorse]

Just keep trying.Its hard at first but if you just keep repeating in different positions, eventually a little whistle will come out.

[Kelsy101]

no a tiny whistle will not come out

[TommiLigeShiroRikiGinSparks]

I have absolutely not the slightest clue how to do this. I've tried over and over and over and over and over.

[Kelsy101]

me too and i cant get it

[norsehorse]

Follow the instructions. You'll get it if you try over and over some more. It will feel right when you've got the right position.

[Kelsy101]

Which one do you think is a better technique when whistling with fingers: keeping your tongue flat on your lower jaw or curling it back like you do? I was wondering which one makes the loudest sound and/or is easier to learn?

[metalfury]

I've got cramp in my tongue! will try again later . . .

Thanks for the guide, I'll keep trying it!

[Maregon]

Nice instructable! I suck at whistling and on my first few tries I got good results. Thanks!

[browncomputerchair]

this is pretty good. do u know how to do a no hands whistle. those are neat and discreet.

[jrt42]

Not bad, I have been doing this for years. I am 52 now and I can whistle with any two finger combo with any hand, I can also do it with one finger. It all has to do with where you put your finger(s) to your tongue, I usally use the tip of my tongue.

[norsehorse]

That's pretty neat! I just figured out how to do it with one, I never even thought about that trying that before. Do you know what makes the whistle? Where does the air pass through to make it?
