In this video I make a whistling spinning top out of basswood and brass. In order for this to work you need the top to spin really fast. So an acceleration handle mechanism is essential.

In mr David Reed Smith's site I found really useful info on how to make it, in this link: https://tinyurl.com/2fxwkm59
