Quiz time! - What am I playing
 

My little niece is staying with me, and for fun I made this for her
today, because she saw it in a film and thought it was really cool.

So here's the question. Who was the star of the film?

And for your supplementary, what is it?

Piccy later, when you've guessed.

A length of hosepipe and whirling it round while blowing through it (or
the vacuum cleaner hose)....???

(Either way, stop ****ing about! :-)

You could be writing stiff letters to the BBC
and record companies:-)

OK. Here's the answer.

It was Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee, and the instrument that
intrigued my niece was the bullroarer he used to call his aborigine
friends from up on the ridge. It is extremely noisy!

Here's the one I made today:

The small purr after each big roar is caused by it rotating backwards
as it unwinds the string ready for the next yell.

I guess everyone knew but was too embarrassed to say.

What's it made of, and what shape must it be? Is it always
