Hi Morris,

Tonight only, I heard you and I become a big fun of you. You are now my inspiration for my future. I am from New Delhi and whistling since 1996. Just only a year back i come to know that Whistling is an art in India and on today only just because of You Tube

I can whistle just like that.

[MrAdewilliams]

No you can't. This man's a genius.

[morrisd2530]

Thank you for that very kind comment!

Un placer escuchar silbar así. Yo también silbo así, pero en mi país (Uruguay) no hay manera de que alguien lo aprecie, ya que no hay concursos de silbido ni nada parecido. Mi manera de silbar es similar a David Morris, yo silbo con trino y aspirando y soplando indistintamente. Tengo excelente oído, no digo "absoluto" pero muy exacto, y memoria musical. ¡Felicitaciones David! Estoy a la órden para hacer un dúo contigo.

[Pantalaimion]

And wow, that last F.. I can't hit that note. I can hit just higher and lower, but not that F. How do you do it?

[kehwa]

Maybe if you train the way he did, you'd get the same range! And I guess it partially depends on the shape and size of your mouth.

[Pantalaimion]

I never thought that whistling could sound so pretty, haha. This is brilliant. Most of the time I just get annoyed when my boyfriend whistles really poorly and misses all the notes.

[scorps59]

if you think he sounds good here,listen to his cds,excellent

[releasethefrogs]

You're a great whistler! I've always had a secret dream of doing this kind of thing. I just have a few technique questions. Firstly, when you produce vibrato, is that from tongue waggling or is it just air vibrato like how flute players do it?

Next, when you're reapeating the same note many times in a row ("tounging", I guess one would say), is your tounge actually touching the inside of your mouth or is it all in your throat? I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Thanks!

[morrisd2530]

Thanks for your kind words. vibrato is air vib and yes the tongue is touching the inside of my mouth. Have you heard sample tracks from my 2 CD's on my website? Have a listen and drop me a line with any comments.

Kind Regards,

David

[moopadoo]

wow. are you the actual david Morris. I can whistle but not loud. how do u whistle loud?

[tungguabubai]

Dear David Morris: I am a whistle lover in Taiwan, I practice my self for several years, but after viewing your video, I know I still have very far way to go, you are a real master, can I ask you is there any special way to practice fast songs? How can you whsitle that fast and that clear. I have tryed to control the breath by throat, like laugh "hahahaha", but there is a limitation of the speed, can not be too fast, and the sound will be stopped too strongly between sound and sound.

[morrisd2530]

Hi, Thank you for your comments and question. You must use your tongue to whistle fast pieces. Practice waggling your tongue fast and try to produce different notes with each movement. I must say that I have practised for thousands of hours since I was a boy! Keep trying and I hope that you are successful.Thanks again for your comments, much appreciated. David Morris

[Gingit55]

Lovely tone, beautifully suited to this already classically heartbreaking song. Wonderfully balanced and integrated with accompaniment instruments. You lend great dignity to the true artwhistle.

[morrisd2530]

That's very nice of you, it's a great tune isn't it? One of my favourites. Thanks again, David

[Gingit55]

It's absolutely one of the best songs ever written. As a composer and songwriter, it would be a dream if I could ever just produce ONE song with that kind of special character and longevity. And you serve the song beautifully well, with an appropriate balance between virtuosity of technique and the simplicity of approach that best suites it.

[morrisd2530]

I'll perform that piece for you next April. What's your name? Keep in touch. Best wishes David

[Jebediah014]

David Morris...you are my new hero:)...lol you make my aspiration of becoming the best whistler even more grand having just heard about you from searching around...thank you D hope to contact you soon

[morrisd2530]

Thank you for your very kind words, really appreciated. Where are you from? Best, David.

[deeej]

Pride of Dobcross!!

[IdiotSlayer]

Insanely beautiful whistling. As a trumpet player myself, I could only hope to aspire to be able to whistle like that. *drools

[morrisd2530]

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.  WHERE DO YOU PLAY TRUMPET?

David.

[IdiotSlayer]

At my highschool. I've been taking lessons since grade nine (two years ago) and have been in senior band since the year after. I love the sound of it, the Bb scale is beautiful in itself. This song is in Eb, correct?

[morrisd2530]

Correct. Where are you from?

David

[IdiotSlayer]

Around Toronto, Ontario. So across the pond from you if I'm not mistaken. You'll forgive me for not revealing much more than that on the Internet, besides, there's no real way to tell that this is, in fact, actually Dave Morris. However, I trust you for now :) You'll forgive any misunderstanding?

[morrisd2530]

Absolutely. I can only promise you that it IS me! Never been to Canada, would love to. Booked to appear in Chicago next year ( April) David

[IdiotSlayer]

Ah, excellent, I'll keep an eye open. I was looking into purchasing your albums, do you know if they would stock them in Canada or is it more restricted to the United Kingdom?

[KiersThebad]

wow how do u whistle so hi

[morrisd2530]

Don't know, just practice I suppose. Nice to hear from you.

David

[jamessamson1982]

[morrisd2530]

Cheers, David
