I tried circular breathing on ocarina for a while, never got it down though. I can't even imagine doing it on a whistle

I've seen Colin Goldie doing this on my Overton low D. It's amazing!

On a low D?! I built my own and as far as I can tell it has no discernable back pressure. How does Colin do it?

Not tinwhistle, but a good explanation of the technique.
