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 ❤😭
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 really appreciate people who teach their talents. Especially in a second language.
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
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 RUclips 🤍
Agreed, she has a positive aura about her. Very connected to the Earth.
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
I can imitate loons well enough for them to come investigate my kayak. I too have been doing this since I was a kid, about 50 years at this point.
Great video 👍
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.
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 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.
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 :))
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!
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'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! 🙏
This is the most beautifully produced tutorial I have ever seen
I'm trying so hard
Same 😢
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.
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❤
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. ✨🌌🌏✨✨
damn, this girl made a whole tutorial completely mystical, respect
I do not know why I found it but I'm glad I did! New hobby is unlocked
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! 😊
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 ^^
@@jonnajinton❤❤
My dad taught me this to me one afternoon when coming home from school, when I was about 8. I'm so glad he did because it's certainly one of the coolest things I know how to do.
That's the calm whistle of the Valkyrie. Sounds amazing.
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 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!
I tried this for the 1st time and spent like 10 min until I finally did it. I got a vid of me doing it and im gonna keep practising in my free time I can only do the 1st one so far but I'm happy with that THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
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.
Jonna's legacy will be remembered for generations to come
38 years old, I taught myself how to do this when I was very young based off a book. I used to be very good at it and did it everywhere.
Over the years, life happened, ans I stopped. In that time I suffered a hand injury that removed part of my right index finger so I can't make the proper seal.
Watching your video I was able to figure out how to swap my hands around (think of your way as doing it "right handed" and I'm doing it "left handed"), and in doing so I was able to make the base sound for the first time in over 20 years.
Now to just practice again
Hey! This was my first time ever trying this, and I’m going on a trip in the mountains in 3 days, I’m just here to say thank you. I can not tell you how much joy I got when I realized I could do this! It didn’t seem possible. But it’s so fun! My jaw dropped when I got it lol!
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.
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 knew a boy who knew how to do this when I was a kid one summer but he couldn't teach me and I never knew anyone else who could do it. Thanks for this because now I have a bit of knowledge I forgot i wanted so badly to know 35 years ago in Ohio. Now I can learn myself and teach my sons!
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.
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 🥴
My grandfather tried to teach me as a kid. I never managed it.
Just now, I managed to sound like a train whistle, using this video and some online picture guides. Yay! Note to self: firmly squeeze the base of your palms together. It's the only way I managed a thing after enough huffing and puffing to make myself woozy.
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!🙏

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.... 🌼
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.
RUclips is a living demon. I tried doing this very thing 2 days ago and I've never seen one of these videos before...until now.
3:54 where the tutorial starts btw
Thanks for this! I’ve never been able to do this before, and I was able to get a whistle on my first try following your instructions!
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:)
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.
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
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
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 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 😂🤣
I remember watching this video when it came out and I was unable to do it. I practised and practised and after a few days I finally got it!! Ever since then I've just kept doing it and I recently learnt how to do different tones (low, high, low to high and vise versa). I can't wait to go to a forest or something where it will echo and I can be as loud as I want. Thank u, Jonna :)
Crazy update - I just learnt how to play twinkle twinkle little star on my hands!!
I did it! Now I have a better way to communicate with nature, thank you very much ❤️
It's been only half an hour since I accomplished to make the owly sound but already I start to feel connected more than before. You can't imagine what a precious thing you put in my life! I'm deeply grateful. Greetings from up the mountains of Eastern Anatolia 🏔️
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 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
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!
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
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 😊❤
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!
The country you are talking about is France . In the south west , shepherd use to whistles to communicate between valleys ! This langage was almost lost but they manage to save this patrimony …. Have a lovely day
Love this so much. I'mm 77 years old, and maybe 1 day I'll whistle just like you ❤ KRAM.
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.
That's what actual ASMR is. Look it up, find your triggers, thank me later.
So peaceful and beautiful!!!
You're such a kind soul to want to share your knowledge and experience with us ❤

@@jonnajinton Your whistling is like Silbo Gomera, the whistling language of the hills of Gomera in the Canary Islands … but yours is more enchanting and mystical. 🤗
Love from Sweden to Greece
❤❤❤ 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!
Thank you very much. I can’t believe I can learn this at 43 years old 😊
I feel calm after watching your videos 🥺 this is amazing ❤️ hope I have chance to go there one day ... Love from Thailand 🇹🇭
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
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!
Holysmokes!!!! I'm very surprised and excited! My eyes just widened when I made a sound! It sounds so beautiful! Now to practice and make it louder! I'm in love the second I did it!! I couldn't do any other whistles like with the fingers but this is amazing! Im native and the closet I can get to that sound is with a traditional flute. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ALL THE WAY FROM DRIFTPILE FIRST NATION, ALBERTA, CANADA!!🇨🇦🇨🇦
You are so gentle and such a compassionate soul. Gods love shines through you. Be well and happy. Pat from Wisconsin USA.
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. ❤️
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.
The video was also just too soothing to watch , beauty of nature and this woman , is just so relaxing
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 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♥️
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 ❤
This video has a healing aura
Jonna's video's are a cure for depression ❤❤
Learn this at high school in Australia in the early 80’s. Got fairly good at it. As my hands grew, and I lost flexibility I lost the skill. Just tried it, and although my hands hurt a little die to the unusual position, I found I can still do it. An addition I used to do was to clamp a blade of grass between the pads at the base of the thumbs and the knuckles where you blow, (With practice you can clamp and pull tight while your hands are together.) and instead of sounding like a loon or crane, it sounds like a duck.
thank you very much for the video! I learned how to do this literally in one evening, and it took a little time to hit the high notes, but it was worth it! I haven't been so happy with a new skill in a long time haha
Some advice for those who can't do it:
make sure that the index finger of your right hand does not cover the hole anywhere
try blowing air into the area of the upper phalanges of your thumbs
try to blow downward, at an angle of 45 degrees
make the hole between your thumbs as small as possible
These were the things that prevented me from doing it, but now everything is great!
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❤
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
I have practiced for months,and i can finally do it. Only the volume and the highest pitch are a challenge. Greetings from the Netherlands. Dankjewel!
I'm 60 my 86 year old mother taught all of her children this., she would use this to call us home over great distances when she wanted us home.
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 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!
💚💚💚
I used to be able to do this and then just forgot one day. Just started the video and really hoping I can figure it out again
Edit: omg!! Omg!! Literally 5 seconds into the demonstration I got it again!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
Learned to do this as a child. Recently my Grandaughter ask me to teach her how. I should her how to hand whistle but I'm sending her this great tutoriol. Thank You.
I grew up in Baltimore city as a child I’m 62. We used to use this to contact each other in the neighborhood brings back memories.
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
The first time I saw someone do this, was when I was a kid. Another kid was able to do it as easily as a person can whistle any tune with their lips! It was like magic to me. Couldn't have been more than 10 years old. I'm still flabbergasted by this today because I've never been able to do it with such dexterity, nor have I seen a similar example since
Thank you very much!
I’ve always been bad at whistling normally because i cant figure out what to do with my mouth and hands. You nicely explained the techniques, so I could make a sound on my first go. This was very helpful☀️
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.
If I learn to do this, I'll never feel silent ever again.
My soul needs a more powerful and louder escape from its weight. Thank you for the video Jonna❤
Why does this sounds like a beautiful movie? So beautiful 🥰
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. 🍃🕊🍃
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 used to do this as a kid mimicking the Loon's call. I was able to it again following your tutorial. Thanks for bringing me back to my childhood!
I love loons! There is something so mystical about their sound! We have loons here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Same here in Canada, I learned this as a loon call!
Best skill that I have learnt. Really thankful and indebted indeed. Nature calls us for a soul embrace every dawn and dusk in quite wilderness whether it is winter or summer...it doesn't matter if it is mountains, dried scorched earthen patch of land spreading in miles, a quiet desert, a thick and dark jungle or the icy blizzard on snowy peaks of mountains miles away from population...but we ignore that call.. the whistle is assuring depth of peace within you.. mesmerizing and loving.
My dad (Papa,) taught me this "Loon call" as a child when we'd be out on our near the lake and we'd get responses back. Great memories💚
This is sooo magical! 😍✨
When I first heard you doing this in one of your videos few years ago, I was immediately fascinated by that beautiful sound and I wanted to learn to do this myself as well. So I searched for some tutorials here on RUclips and after some time finally figured out how to do this. The feeling was just amazing and i was overwhelmed with joy! I actually found out that this whistling was also used as a birdcall. When I tried to do this for the first time, one bird actually flew towards me and sat on a tree right in front of me, that moment just took my breath away! 🤭🥹✨
To me this whistling is like a sound of freedom, so thank you so much for sharing it with us! 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Lots of love 🌻
I’m on my bed trying the whistle and my cat looks very intrigued and perplexed! 😹 I must practice and get better! Thanks for teaching us! ❤
😂❤
