Can You Whistle Five Octaves?

The only human alive that can whistle a span of five octaves with bare lips. A little hard to hear on the extreme ends, but the range is still amazing. At least six different whistling modes are used in this demonstration.

To request a real song, just send me a YouTube message.

My goodness... I was quite well known back in highschool to be a great whistler (lol) and till this day I still whistle and getting better and better. But lately I've hit the brick wall and can't reach any higher pitch. Any tips on how I can break that barrier? Thanks!

@GyariSan Good question. I know there are different kinds of whistling that are best for different ranges. The highest for me is very tiny opening with a lot of pressure, but you have to blow gently or else it gets too raspy for some reason. Are you able to reach the very low range just fine?

thats A D4 to D8, thats not 5 but 4 octaves.

[hookbot]

@ASSHOLELA Okay, true, it's not 5 full SCALES worth. But I meant it reaches 5 different notes, each being an octave apart from each other. Find the nearest Kindergartner to help you or get your fingers out and maybe you can count this all by yourself or help count with me right now. Ready? D4... D5... D6... D7... D8... Yup! That's FIVE. Hurray for me!! I can count even without your help.

man you beat me, i cant whistle that high, but i'm trying hard to it, i can whistle arround 4 octaves and a little more i think

but i'm learning trumpet and that might help or screw my whistling

good vid

@dMITIC I took band for 2 years, and I actually played the Cornet, which is very close to the Trumpet. I don't think it screws up the whistling, in fact, I think it helped for me, so keep practicing Trumpet. But it is slightly different lip muscles used for trumpet than for whistling.

umm...that was 4 octaves, not 5...(d)8-(d)4=4

[WilliamABoi]

@hookbot Yeah... that's not what the word "octaves" implies

My origami teacher can whistle in 5 octaves. His name is John Montroll. So... yeah. His low D is actually low.

@hookbot It's still 4 octaves though. Also, you're a dick.

WHO GIVES A FUCK!!??

[snoopyflick]

I can whistle one note. Hazza, my range spans 1 octave!!!

[speeps84]

@hookbot I'm playing trombone right now which i think has helped my whistling but i can't hit those really high notes while whistling

probably has something to do with the different embouchures used for trombone and trumpet

[ASSHOLELA]

i can whistle the 9th octave very nearly into the ultrasonic range, F#,Bb9, and from G5-C7, but the shitty thing is i cant do the 8th octave in between =(

@hookbot

well okay. ur right, in your sense.

Please do the viewers a favor and change the title then....To something like Can you whistle notes in 5 different octaves.=p.
