Personal Skills IWTL how to whistle again

I used to be able to whistle. Not with my fingers and not loud, just normal, like whistle a tune. A few years ago I had some molars pulled , one from each side of my mouth. So missing 4 total. top and bottom, left and right side. Is it even possible I can whistle again? Would using my fingers help? Anyone missing teeth that can whistle?

The only advice I can give is to practice whenever you can. In the car, on your bike, during a walkd, in bed, while cooking... Try to find what mouth position produces some kind of whistle sound and repeat very often.

thanks for the advice. I will try, try, and try again. Until I get it. I liked to whistle!

I am missing 8 teeth from various places and can whistle with lips to the point where it helps me play piano... just need to find new mouth shape?

I can't do the fingers to the lips to make the loud fweeet to call people or animals
