Trying to tell whether these are two males or not. Seen them around before, always two of them and their lil gosling

I have been trying my hardest to figure out a way to make a visibly similar but still sound making worm flute from Nausicaa. I have found a couple of examples with this one seeming to be the most promising

however the guy doesn't seem to share his stl file. I found one

but it doesn't make a sound; however someone has a suggestion:

So the grooves you see are actually reeds. I am not sure what they are made out of, but each one plays a frequency from 500 to 2000 Hz.

Now the interesting part is that the outer cone needs an inner cone that covers all groove reeds except one, so when the inner cone rotates, turning on one reed at a time going from 500 to 2000 Hz, I am not sure how to get the inner cone to rotate at a set frequency. Still, you could have a small turbine in the middle to cause the rotation to turn the inner cone that turns the reeds on and off.

Which almost seems to fit with this other guy I found who made a wooden one (but didn't show the completed version ;_;):

I know the little canister one you can make but I want to see if a working one that looks like the one Nausicaa has can be forged! Anyone got any ideas?
