I've recorded all sorts of odd ball things, but this has presented a challenge! Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have three hours to figure this out - the session starts at 9PM EDT. Thanks!!!

The whistling champion from 3 years ago swears by a Royer PS-101 wind screen.

No lie.

im no expert at recording but, have you tried positioning the mic away from the direction of the whistling? im not sure if this will offer the sensitivity to pick up the whistling but thats all i can think of.

You give him 1 microphone to play into.

You position a second microphone approximately 2 feet away to record with into an additional track.

Now wasn't that easy?

Mic his cheek/corner of his mouth with the mic pointing almost the the same way he is facing. I'm not being a smart ass....do it. I can guarantee you'll get what you want.

Damn, that makes perfect sense. None of the HF would be masked, no wind would hit the mic.
Simple.
