I've got so many questions the past years on how I do the whistle/loon call that I do with my hands in many of my videos. So in this video I will finally share with you all that I know about this hand whistling and how to learn it yourself. Let me know if you have any questions!
Good luck!
Thank you for watching this video! ♥

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 is such a cute story
❤
omg j love thats thats so cute
my daddy issues kicking in at this one 🥲
The baby owl and papa owl ❤😭
Jonna has the most beautiful content in the entire social media sphere, change my mind!
Thank you ❤🙏🏻
No for real. Not even exaggerating.
@@jonnajintonYes🥳…Bless you🙏…what a wonderful gift you are ☺️
Yes she’s the No•1 here on sane magical TH-cam 🤍
Agreed, she has a positive aura about her. Very connected to the Earth.
Thank you for this!
I’m 78 years old and actually made a sound (who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. When I made the whistle it scared my dogs big time. I’m gonna practice this. I never was able to whistle well the traditional way.
Thank you again.
Way to go!
I’m 87 and did this in my youth and haven’t seen it since. The sound came easily but needs a lot of refining and practise.🌹j.
@@jimnutter6901 so long as your neighbors are not too close during the refinement phase 😎
Very nice I Know that whistle❤
My cats were weirded out just by my non-sounding attempts! 😂
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!
Hi
Over 70 years since my father tried to show me how to do this but I never mastered it. I just came across this video and I think I can see where I was always going wrong and am determined to try once again. Thankfully, for the neighbour's sanity, we live out in the country and he is away. His farm dogs may object though. LOL
As a musician I can confirm that this is indeed a whistle
Damn
Hej! Vill lära mig din visslingar. Låter underbart . Mvh Torbjörn
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.
FINALLY. As a Clarinet player, I have always been extremely frustrated for not being able to do this, and also on people for not being able to articulate clearly in words the emission technique. "Just do like that, an blow in". Ridiculous explanation. Never been able to make any sound. After your explanation successfully did it at first try. Thanks
Thank you so much this was very helpful.
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)
Great explanation! Once I closed all the gaps between fingers it worked! I blow at about 45 degrees down, getting a loud whistle and a vibration.
Thank you so much i did it thanks to ur help
I grew up in India high up in the Himalayan mountains and I learnt it from my grandfather when I was a kid. Its fascinating to see how people from far away lands used this same technique of whistling. Its very soothing when you do it in the wild. You can easily imitate the Eurasian Collared Dove bird sound, I used to do that. Thank you for this video!
i live in germany and i also learned it from my grandmother really fascinating
Wow great I am also from India . Nice bro
@@Yod-yx6jyIf I tell you I'm going to do the test of the day
How much time it will take to learn,like I'm trying but nothing comes out :(
@@overlord6367it might take one week.
I was taught a variation of this by my grandfather. I called it the choochoo whistle, but my grandpa could make a PERFECT lake loon sound and could call them from miles away. I still remember seeing my first loon. They make the most distinct and sacred sounding calls of any bird. Beautiful!😊
The hell is a loon. Edit: oh it’s a bird.
ZenVibesChannel33 music for you
Ai bird noise? Real birds sound better
I know how to mimic 3 waterfowl. Bet your AI can't reply my click-clack.
Omg I did it! It took me half an hour to make my first whistle. And 20 more minutes to make different notes. I think I have a new hobby now. Thank youu :))
My father taught me this whistle when I was a little girl. He would call me back from the forest and fields when I was playing. Thank you for welling up such warm memories of my kind and loving father. I am 53 and he has been gone from us for 10 years. Thank you for this sweetness.
❤
❤ Piękne wspomnienie.
My dad taught me the same, haven’t done it in years. Just tried it again and I’ve still got it 👌
Yes living in a very rural area growing up, we would practice this when we got separated in the fields. I am surprised not many have tried this.
@@baybeegalkk it’s a good party trick to show the city dwellers haha
My dad taught me to do this as a kid and I learned to whistle so many tunes with just my hands. My music teachers in college got the biggest kick out of it and even worked it into one of our concerts. I remember being mildly embarrassed at first but my dad was beaming after the performance because I had let it be a surprise for him.
That is the cutest thing ever.
That's amazing!
While doing this it can be annoying for some people. When I finally figured out how to do the whistle I started practicing at school. Almost everyone was saying and telling me to stop because it was annoying to them. It hurt a lot because I enjoyed doing the whistle but it's hard to do it when everyone prevents me. Don't let them stop you
Whistle away as much a you want but in a place when the people can enjoy your whistles❤
Oh oh me.. oh my... I've never been able to whistle... but I've always carried an acorn top to whistle and with your instruction I was able to finally whistle thru my hands... no acorn needed. Wow, I'm blown away. Thank you dear.. I'm 63 and finally got something I can do for whistling..
I've never heard of an acorn top being used for whistling....I hope there's a video somewhere for that too 😊
I love the acorn whistle because, for me, it was so easy to use. But man, did it blow my ears out lol. So loud.
@@emmasedgwick8385 Oh, my cousin taught me this in summer camp! If you are ever somewhere with acorns try to find an undamaged cap (the top brown part of the acorn with the stem). 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!
A most elderly gentleman showed me how as a child. I've done it all my life WITHOUT learning how to get that highest loudest pitch.
I kept practicing here your teaching and Viola.
Eternal Gratitude.
I cannot wait for a little break in Winter to go into forest 🥰

I live in the small village in the Polish mountains. My grandfather used this sound to call us (grandchildren) to home in the evening. We played among fields and forests about 2 km from the house. But I still not quite that whistling. Thank you for this video. It motivates me to learn :) Greetings from the wild Carpathians :)
Thats so beautiful to know 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing ❤
I read mountains in my head like the lovely way Jonna says it🥰
Jaki cudny sposób na zawołanie do domu, piękne ^^

I love the idea that there are thousands of us all over the world attempting this whistle, what a choir we must make! 🎶🌏🎶🌎🎶🌍🎶
Edit: Welcome to the choir! All whistlers welcome, from baby elephant to ethereal angel.😉🐘😇
That's a beautiful thought.
🌈 🌏 🤍 🕊️
What is the goal? Better world for all with no wars and international economic abuse
I was thinking the same while watching the video
If you're part of a choir, you're learning better than me!
That’s so beautiful. My Skonberg family elders in Alaska taught me this as a child but I forgot about it for years, until tonight when I wanted to give wind song to a deeply spiritual friend tonight who is dying in hospital. This was a beautiful tutorial and I thank you for sharing this great beauty with the world. 🙌
May God be with your friend and the family and keep on doing what you do best you all are In my prayers God bless you and family and friends family too take care and be safe
My heart weeps for you. I do hope your friend reaches the ultimate goal. Having you by her/him side will paved the way forward! Peace man, Peace! avb
Deeply spiritual is a shallow life without the Holy Spirit of God.

Having grown up in a very small town in the Cascade mountains in Washington state, my best friend and I would often communicate with each other using this very method. This video brings back fond memories of happier times. Thank you for sharing your technique so that others may also enjoy this peaceful and relaxing way of creating sound with one's hands.
Watching this video and attempting whistling like this has given me so much joy and fun! My Swedish husband is generously supporting me in my, at this time, failed attempts. I’m 74 and physically handicapped, but by God, I have enough strength to learn how to whistle! Bless you for so generously gifting me with unadulterated FUN!
"in my, at this time, failed attempts" I laughed so hard at this, because same 🤣I just hear air. I hope you've figured it out!!
@jerrihadding2534 I am 62 and physically disabled. I too want to learn how to whistle with my hands. Jonni makes it look so easy and sounds so beautiful…
What a wonderful share. I wish you much joy in practicing these whistles. I’m 50 and just began attempting this myself. ❤️
I've tried it for a while now. Sitting in my office, feeling low for a few days. I just though about giving it a try again. And it worked, just like this. I am actually sitting here crying. ❤
Jonna, you have no idea, what you are doing for peoples souls. You are an absolute treasure on this earth.
I got the whistle that no one on earth have ever done. you all can check hahah i would call it mysteriouus whislte
I houpe you feel better!And if you need some one to tok im here to lisen you!😊
@@sanda1616 That is so very kind of you 😊 I am better. It was just one of those times... ❤️ Much love for you.
Fischio che fischi !!!
👐🙌👏
That's so awesome! 🙏
Honestley I don't care about the whistles
This video is just so relaxing
Hello, dear Jonna! Long ago, as a child, I knew how to imitate the cry of pheasants. I watched your lesson and practiced for two hours, and lo and behold, the sounds became loud and of different tones! Now I'm looking forward to the weekend to listen to the echo in our mountains. Thank you so much, I wish you health, love and creative success!🙏

I just started trying this, wish me luck 🙏
Hello everyone, this is a couple days later. I kept trying and trying and moving my hand position and thumb position and everything, and shortly after it finally worked. As of right now, I’m okay at it. I’m starting to hit high notes, I can do it pretty loud, all that stuff. I’m certainly not as good as Jonna, but I’m still practicing. To anyone out there who feels like they can’t do it, do NOT give up. It’s super fun once you get it.
Came here for this comment 😭 I haven’t figured it out just yet
Took me a solid 10 minutes but I managed to make an owl sound sorta. Super excited to keep practising :D
@@greatbehemothofindigovale4225 You gotta play around with how wide the chamber inside your palms is and the positioning of the fingers. I got it when I lifted the fingers on my right hand (the top of the flute) slightly. Just make sure it's still airtight.
@@greatbehemothofindigovale4225 for some reason sometimes it helps to puff out my cheeks while it blow 😆 but it helps to just keep adjusting your hands and the size of the thumb hole until it works.
Hey! I FINALLY got a sound! My thumb opening was too big. Thanks again. You both have been extremely helpful 🫶🏼
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…
a moment of silence for everyone who thought this was real! 😂😂
Beautiful story, thank you!
We used to just "coo-eee", but my dad used to whistle (just using his lips) but we got some weird looks when he used it in the middle of Sydney once! 😂 We didn't get lost in the crowd though! 😊
Good Morning Ms. Jonna Jinton, when I was growing up and spent alot of time with my Grandparents, my Grandfather who was French Cherokee, taught me how to whistle , he told me that the whistle was a language dedecated to the Wild Life of tge Forest and The Great White Father of the Universe. Thank you for your love of keeping this sacrid hand whistling a live, your videos brought back many wonderful memories with my Grandfather, who lived to be 110 years young, I'm 66 years old, thank you again
My grandfather taught it to me when I think I was 6 years old. I called it the wind sound. A lovely memory ❤
Except for my uncle, who taught me when I was 5 years old, you are the first person in my 60+ years I've seen who can do this. My uncle explained it to me just like you did in the video. He taught me to imitate owls and cuckoos with this. It took me a long time to master this. I remember sitting underneath our living room table, trying and trying. Sadly, my son and his children never had the patience to learn it. I am delighted to see you hand whistling. So the art is not lost.
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
Luar biasa.
Seriously? I know about 20 people who can. It's not rocket science. Takes about 5 mins to figure out.
Good for you. Not all people are that fast, but that's no good reason to be so dismissive of them.@@minkorrh
Благодарю! Эти звуки глубоко проникают в пространство, структурируют и изменяют его. В этот момент ты и сам становишься звуком в живой партитуре природы и планеты. ✨🌌🌏✨✨
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.
You are so gentle and such a compassionate soul. Gods love shines through you. Be well and happy. Pat from Wisconsin USA.
My father taught this to me and my brothers when we were little. There's something magical about it. We often did it early in the morning while hiking through the forest. when the leaves and grass were still covered with morning dew.
greetings from germany ;D
This was a cool skill to learn. Took me almost 2 full days to get the whistle and now I'm able to produce pretty loud sounds with a higher pitch. Thanks for inspiring, I will pass this on to my daughters.
Don’t spam
Thank you so much and will keep practicing! ❤ B and I will let you know when I get it!
If the air is supposed to come out between the thumbs
How are higher pitched sounds supposed to rotate back through the thumbs
@@AlexBossulica : when you figure this out, please share. I can’t seem to figure it out either. But another person says they got it with practice, so I’ll keep trying.
You are Wonderful. . very nice Explanation . .❤
I always called this a "hand flute" growing up--but I've never heard someone do it with such amazing range, before!
@JonnaJinton11--on-Te-le-gram real
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.
Beautiful thing for feeling weaved among the forest and nature beings. I learnt it from my father when I was a kid and lived in Spain, I've living in Finnish Lapland for ten years and used to use it on my frecuent outdoors trips to the woods and sometimes I was blessed with the answer of some owl. The call of owl, is how i named this whistling style and I've always palying the deepest note of it, now after seeing you doing the scale notes and higher pitch I'll practice that and try to get it too. Thanks for being inspiring, but very well I know those landscapes and environment are deeply inspiring, I'm missing that nature so much. Thank you and deep time in the woods.
In Tennessee (USA) we use hand whistle to find each other in the woods or across huge farms.
I’m 64 and learned it around 10 years old. My grandsons love me to do it … but they can only “fake it” for now . They are 6 and 5 so they’ve got a little time to learn.
We also use a blade of broad grass to form a reed which creates a eagle like sound. It’s a wholly different technique since the blade must be stretched tightly across the “mouthpiece” created by the edge of thumbs.
I am an old man now and I did this all the time as a boy although not with the beautiful tones you achieve. I have never lost the ability to do this, it is similar to riding a bicycle you get very rusty without practice. I am practicing the high whistle now to call in my dog from a distance when she has been running through the creek bottom and woods. I need to sharpen things up so that I can pass this on to my grandson. Thank you for the demonstration of skill, I find it inspiring.
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 💜
Interesting. About two weeks ago I taught a friend at work on how to do it too. Lol
I do pigeon and 2 kinds of owls when I'm in the woods... Oh, and jingle bells 😂🤣
your voice , nature's voice and this whistle .... just awesomeeee 😢❤❤❤
This is the closest I've ever been to whistling, never been able to whistle loud enough to be useful but this came so naturally, thank you!!
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 🤗👍💜✌️
Your videos are like taking a deep breath. A moment of calm in a stressful day. Thank you Jonna ♥
❤🙏🏻
@@jonnajinton hey mam how are you, your videos i,m watching continue so i,ve impressed
Ai?? Or still breaking into my accounts
Thank you so much!
I’ve tried this with no success since childhood.
It took sixty years to find you. I got it in a minute.
Thanks so much. I really, really do appreciate it.🕊🌹🕊
I live in the forest. I can converse better with the owls now.
We have much to discuss. Our world is being encroached upon by those
without respect or regard for it. It was just brutally logged by idiots.
I’ll invite them to stay with me if they need a place to roost.
I heard the soothing sound of the nature made by you. I followed your instruction. Now I can make one myself. And also I am teaching my children, hopefully they will learn one day.
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
💙🙏same to you, tysm
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 🥴
20 years a long 20 years i couldn't figure this out my dad would do it on camping trips and i thought it was the coolest thing ever saw this video got it in 2 minutes cant thank you enough
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
We use to call this way with my brother. It really goes far. We found each other that way. Even running waters(rapids)it sounds good. My brother is in heaven now and sometimes when i call this way and very high way i hope my brother hear this. I have teached this my children and some friends too. This video is so great. Thank you Jonna. I call you this way too. I am close here in Finland❤.
How beautiful! I'm sure your brother is hearing you ❤❤
❤❤❤
What a beautiful story ❤Thank you for sharing it with us.
Been whistling like this since I was 7-8 years old. I’m in my 50s now. I would call to mourning doves and owls. But you carry this hand whistling a lot farther. I’m now practicing the higher pitches. So primordially beautiful!❤
Any tips on doing the higher pitches 😊
yeah Mourning doves love it
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 😊❤
as a beatboxer for 15 years or so.. this is quite interesting and i will be learning! thank you for this video
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.
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!
This is the tip that got it for me, thank you!!
Well thank you your Tips really helped me in Seconds 😊 Now the only Thing left is managing the high tones
OH MY GOD I USED YOUR TIPDS AND I GOT IT TYAM!!
also you can try tucking in your lips bellow the teath its easyer for me that way
thank you:)
I have never been able to whistle. My grandad taught us how to do it with a blade of grass. It sounds like a trumpet 🎺 ❤❤❤ Your technique is impecable 🙏✨✨✨✨✨
Yes! My Grandma taught us too, and now when I'm out in meadows, when I find good grass I whistle! It brings so much nice memories. 😊
@@agataesinska9271 does your technique also look like Jonna’s? But with the grass blade between the thumbs?
@@SAROXBANDno, sound of grass is not so pretty))
@@mashaizzzartjewellery i agree it is funny!! 😂
My mom taught me to whistle with grass between the thumbs. I've shown my kids and their friends lol
I've been doing hand whistling since I was a kid. Love the natural sounds it produces.
This is a game-changer for me. I grew up imitating the mourning dove, but now I will expand my sounds. I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh my gosh!! I was able to do the sound! This is incredible, I never managed to whistle with my lips but this I could! I will teach my son, he will love it :) So happy about it, thank you!! ❤
Amazing!! 😃 Congratulations ❤️🎉👏🏻
Congratulations!!
а у меня не получается,только пшшшш))
Congratulations!! I need to try some more...
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 🥲
We all should understand: these video‘s are made by her to make us see the wholeness and beauty in all of us and our environment. We only have to open our heart, eyes.... 🌼
Since i was a child with my father in a mystical area in the Black Forest. I remember and i know it and feel it nowadays. Many deep hearts ❤to you Jonna!
Thank you by heart... I am crying of pure joy and bliss... hearing your wild whisteling and discovering my very own, feels like coming home after a dozen life times...
Am I the only one who have chills all over body and absolute peace and calm during whole video? it was like magical touch to my heart , all emotions just swin on surface and kind a feel relief. Thank you.
I want to learn this so badly and after 2 days of practice I almost managed to get the base sound out of it and even higher sounds... this is so relaxing !!! 😊
relaxing!! I must be doing it wrong, I feel dizzy from all the blowing lol. But I always wanted to learn this!
@@slaveNo-4028Try really aiming downwards so you're kinda blowing across the hole instead of into it
my grandfather told us as kids how to do it, after like 10 attempts it worked, and never you forget how to do it.
@@slaveNo-4028 you should not blow, its more like breathing out very softly into your fingers.
@@slaveNo-4028me too lol
But then now I got the base of it
W młodości,to umiałem,a teraz chcąc sobie przypomnieć oglądając Twój film nie mogłem wydać głosu gwizdu, ale będę chciał sobie przypomnieć.Pozdrawiam z Polski❤
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. ❤️
So peaceful and beautiful!!!

❤❤❤ I did it!! Omgoodness Jonna! Thank you for sharing. I will need to practice to get the diff tones but I was able to do it first time…. Lol the cats went wild wondering… what is she doing 😂. 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!
damn, this girl made a whole tutorial completely mystical, respect
Love this, the way it composed, videos and sceneries, background music and the magician vibrating souls with ancient sounds. Good work.
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♥️
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.
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.
Thank you so much I love doing this now whenever I’m out and it always surprises the people I meet so thank you very much!
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 😊 🙏 😍
Jonna I am SHOCKED that I could make the base sound almost right away!!! I always assumed that was super difficult to do. I am so excited to refine my tone and get rid of the breathiness and have this skill! Thank you for sharing!!!
Wow thats great!!! 😃👏🏻🎉❤️
Any update? How did u do it? Mines just sounds like air
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 :)
@@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!
Thank you, I've always wanted to use higher pitched tones with this whistle. Seeing your hand position helped me figure it out. I really appreciate it
Your channel found me! When I was young, I use to whistle with a blade of grass. I followed your instructions and was able to whistle on the first try! I will definitely practice. I would love to be able to whistle as beautiful as you do. Thank you, from Michigan USA.
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!
Every release is truly a masterpiece!
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
Thanks for the info. There's several youtube channels that teach how to do it. Interesting!
I’m sorry to say it, but I’m pretty sure it’s a dying language. I remember seeing something a few years ago about schools putting it in the curriculum so that the kids will keep it alive. Amazing how countries honour their heritage like that. Really cool language
Im from Gran Canaria and I was about to comment this hahaha Vivan las islas!

Thank you very much. I can’t believe I can learn this at 43 years old 😊
Thank you so much for providing this in English! And for sharing the beauty of the place you live.
Jonna's legacy will be remembered for generations to come
I'm 55 and from Germany. In my childhood this was a common thing to do, to imitate an owl. We made sounds with big blades of grass, too. Thanks for reminding me. 🥰❤
Same, from Québec Canada ^^
Same here from the netherlands
can we connect miss
We do it to imitate the loons 🥰
Abuelita, ven a mí abuelita
Absolutely speechless. Your introduction video, can not be described with words, only by the experiencing the experience. In all my years I have never seen anything that comes close to your presentations. You are very very special & your energy, wow. Thank you for the feelings & experiencing your part of the world. ♥♥
I have been doing that since I was a kid and you make it look so perfect and peaceful. I could get lost listening to you.Just love you and thanks for sharing. 😍
My family and I lived in Sweden for 6 months in 1980. It was a fabulous, unforgettable experience. Sweden and its people have a special place in our hearts. BTW, please don't let being a perfectionist get in the way. We, your subscribers, adore you...including your mistakes.
Hey Dear Jonna, I hope you are doing good in such mystical environment. Missed you and your soothing content a lot. Your videos are like a sleeping pill for me. Keep sharing love, peace and humanity. Lots of Love from India❤
You re an amazing teacher with a pure beautiful soul.
Thank you so much ❤
0:47 I've heard of turkey using a whistle language a few years ago, so you might be thinking of that!
This video has a healing aura
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.
Oh my God, I've been waiting for this for several years, I watched your video and always wondered how you do it with your own hands! thank you very much for your lesson and inspiring videos😍🤗🌞
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you. I've had great success, using your techniques!😊
I just got the first notes out of my hands after trying it for years and wondering how people did it!🎉 I‘m very excited, thanks!!😮🎉
I've been waiting for this video! LOVE hand whistling, such a powerful tool to connect to the world around us 💫
I’m so happy to hear that you been waiting for this video! 😃❤️
Me too 👌
@@jonnajinton 😍
yay! @@lisaesquivel761
Your voice is so calming. This is the best video of hand calling I’ve seen. 😊
Thanks for posting! My mother taught me this about 65 years ago I showed it to my kids, and they showed their kids! My mother was raised in rural Louisiana and she said they used in a crude manner to signal/communicate with their neighbors! The sound is amazing and haunting at the same time! You do it beautifully! You have re.-awakened my interest and I thank you for it! I wish you the best in life!
I remember my older brother using the hand whistle as a ring bell hahaha every time he was near the house when he was back from school, we could hear his whistle, he and my father taught me later how to do it ☺️💖 It was a beautiful surprise seeing you doing this the first time Jonna, you sent me back to my childhood ✨😌☺️ Thanks for sharing this ✨ I send you all the love and good vibes from Chile 🇨🇱
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!
I used to do something similar with a leaf, acting as a Reed between my thumbs. It was loud but not pleasing. Your whistling is beautiful and so haunting. It's the perfect soundtrack to the wild world. Thank you ❤
Beautiful 😮..I do remember whistling with the same technique holding a thick blade of grass in between the thumbs when I was a child . Thank you ..the whole surrounding are very fitting to this .. x
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 watched a video about people living in the Turkish village, who are talking to each other by whistling. And it’s just wow. I think that we should learn how to become closer to nature again. Because we are its children!
💚💚💚
Soon as I heard this I felt something stir within and it left a spiritual footprint imbedded in my brain. I think I’ve found the missing link. Truly thankful to you. 🍃🕊🍃
God bless you and your father! Thank you the sounds you make sound so beautiful!!❤
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 TH-cam 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 ✨✨✨
