Hey Ben, I find it harder to hit the lower notes than the higher notes. Is it mainly just finding your sweet spot for a note and remembering it?

[HandwhistlerBen]

@joiemoie It starts off that way. As you get better, you will start to change the pressure of the airstream as it goes toward the middle of your palms and get different timbres of tones. This is what makes the music expressive with dynamics, phrasing, and keeping the notes right on pitch for as long as you need to. The lower notes are harder to play because it is harder to seal the hands from leaking air the wider the palms are open.

wow that's amazing!! I can handwhistle but not that good. I think i do it a different way

[HandwhistlerBen]

@bridgetdigit44 Thank you for stopping by my channel and leaving this comment. I started Handwhistling when I was twelve. I had already played clarinet for four years and was finishing my first year as a bassoon player. There are examples of all my different musical abilities, some very unusual, up here on my channel. If you have any questions, just ask. Have a great night.

@carogrly33 Caroline- I'm glad that you enjoyed this! Do you play an instrument or sing? Are you going to put some of those videos up? Have a great day!

[carogrly33]

hand whistling is a miracle

@3greatgreyhounds3 Shannon- With all of her fame from being on AGT those two or three videos are going to get lots of hits. My sound is more interesting since I don't open my hand. I can get much wider dynamics.

@HandwhistlerBen Ben, I do think it is mostly because of hers being put up for 2 more yrs than urs, I did notice tonight she only has 2 videos up? So there is nothing else for anyone to watch either on her channel but the 2 i saw, so that definitely would acct. for some of those views(i didnt notice that last nt.). Ur version is absolutely marvelous, so I would think you'll be getting 1000's more soon. :) Ur so excellent at it! Gosh that last note again, was very nice! Enjoyed again tonight! -S
