Crazy three pitch whistling of "Ode to Joy"

I love music, and when I worked on the farm, the music never stopped. Since farm work can be boring at times, I whistled alot. I cant remember precisely how I discovered how to whistle in harmony, but I do remember it was while I was changing the drip irrigation on our tree farm. I have been perfecting this ability for about ten years now, and have since discovered how to get three and even four consecutive pitches by whistling out of both sides of my mouth (like a liar). I hope that you enjoy it, and I would love to take requests!

@ff7masta Sorry I am bad about reading comments -- I'm busy with college. This is real. I really do 3 pitches at the same time. 2 of the pitches are easily controllable, and the third is a naturally occurring harmonic that I am learning to control better and better. I just put up some videos for Christmas that were taken with only my webcam, and are unedited. To get better quality, I usually use a good audio recorder & mic to record the audio and pair it with the video, but not on the new.

Thank you everyone for your views and comments. Should I do a LOTR medley next?

@musicnater Duh. LOTR is amazing. : )

@heylookimfat i put up a video of some of the tunes i like from LOTR. People seem to think my whistling is fake, so I did it on my webcam completely unedited. Sorry about the poor audio quality -- if people like it, I will make a high quality version (by recording the audio with good audio equipment and pairing it with the video).

Bravo!  I can whistle in two voices, but with a different technique involving tongue and palate. I've wondered if three or more notes is even possible. Not the way I whistle, but you, my friend, have nailed it!

BTW, I just tried and find I can't whistle at all with my tongue out like that, only a Daffy Duck-like sputter.

Oh sorry that world be singing but you are whistling. Nevermind!

[GuyPlusStuff]

How do you do this? Do you have 2 sets of vocal cords? How do you create two tones at one time? I must know!

[kurtwasright]

I'v always wondered if this was possible.. nicely done man!

[JosepeVerdi]

For the record, this is NOT fake. I've known this guy personally for over twenty years and I've heard and seen him do this many times.
