I can only whistle when I curb my lip and I'm barely learning how to whistle without. My whistle is just a regular whistle um tuneless.

Can you whistle? If yes then can you do it with a tune? Most of all can ou give me some tips

Changing the pitch of your whistle has something to do with your tongue. The change increases the curve of the tongue you need. And I think, to just whistle in a clear tone, you need the tip of your tongue to be just below the bottom of the inside of your lip, the rest of the tongue curving upward. The mouth needs to be open and pursed with a little hole in the middle.

Oh yeah, I can whistle like it's an instrument. For particularly high-pitched notes, like the riffs on a guitar, I do something more complicated which involves contorting my lips into some weird curved shape and pushing air through it.

I used to be able to before I got my braces on. Once I got them on, I couldn't whistle anymore. Still can't after gettin' 'em off.

Mostly this, alot of it is how you use your lips though.
Are you trying to use your fingers or not?

Some Caribbean songs use a bit of whistling so it's a must for me to know how to. It's fun once you learn!
