Any way you could video or throw up some audio of you (or anyone else for that matter), mouth calling? I can't say that I've ever seen it done. (successfully)

Been so long since I've done it (maybe 10 years), I felt silly trying and my throat's now sore, but this should give you the gist of "kaick"ing:
As for "successfully," most "successful" teal calling I've seen, and done, has been little more than noise making that helps draw attention to visual attractions teal find more compelling without managing to drive them off. They're just not as responsive to good calling as mallards - or as easily put off by bad calling. But proper timing and cadence can still turn some tricks with teal that would otherwise stay on their way to points elsewhere.

That's funny, the bayou fellers tell me, "You Yankees are awful strange." And the Yankees told me, "You hillbillies are awful strange."
Am beginning to think there's a message of some sort there...

Granted my experience is fairly limited with working pins compared to others, but considering that so many would bet their boats on its effectiveness, I've been pretty frustrated in the non-response of the few I have worked.

I've so little faith in whistling for pins that it irritates the pee out of me when folks think they're helping by whistling while I'm working them with a mallard call, which I think best done by timing oriented reflex response whistling only dilutes. That said, I did watch a couple guys with Murillo type whistles work a lone drake and a pair of hens to the guns last season, which, though only a single and a pair, were high enough initially that I didn't give them much chance of success.
