I can whistle both ways, without a tonal shift. So I can basically breathe as I whistle and do it indefinitely. Full control, too, because of years of doing it.

Do you just mean whistling while breathing in and also while breathing out? I can do that, but there's a short break in the whistle when I switch the airflow direction.

Ie I can whistle a long song without pause, but I can't whistle a single sustained note without a short but noticeable break in the sustain when I switch from breathing out to breathing in and vice versa.

There is a hitch, but you can time it to cadence or the song's note changes. I mean indefinitely in the sense that I could theoretically go on for a whole day.

And no tonal shift in the sense that I can maintain the same note, with that slight pause, but without changing the intonation, strength, etc.

Wait until you hear about inward singing! I can whistle inward too but not as well as outward (it takes a lot more air, and my range is reduced).

I can do the same thing. It's fun!

I just wish my tonal range were higher. Some app I just installed says my high is C7 and my low is G#5. What's that... An octave and a little?

But that doesn't indicate the range where it sounds the best.

It's a very useful skill when you have a melody on the tip of your tongue and need some software to recognise it :).
