Hi Shao-yang,
I like the way you improvise it. It sounded more of a piccolo rather than a whistle. The sound was soothing and relaxing. I think you are using a technique of note gliding or glissando.
Where instead of hitting the note directly you are briefly passing on the other notes.
Example is from hitting D and G consecutively is
In Whistle technique you just blow and lift the fingers.
The glissando is like gliding the note D to note G where you hit the note E and F# briefly.
The glissando creates a soothing effect on slow music and is much more common in flutes and other woodwinds.
Long notes and glissando is common on East Asia, where there are minimal accent/stress on the notes.
In comparison with Irish Trad, trad is more of beats and consistent measure, unlike glissando where it seems free.
I kept on focusing on the Taps/Strike, Cuts or Grace notes and Rolls to keep the beat. I realized there are more that I can do without the ornaments.
Thanks for sharing this.
I also noticed that you play on two different scales D major and G major....i like how you transition, it was so smooth.
I love your breath vibrato as well.
