I was going to suggest next time you're at the dollar store see if they have any whistles. But the ball would probably be made of cheap plastic that can't stand heat.

Ask Sarah Palin if she can loan you one of hers.

Good Luck! Rich

Next time you pass a crafts store, look at FIMO compounds; anything you can sculpt in colored clays, you just bake to harden, Or, select a large button at the sewing center, or a small drawer pull at the dreaded home center.

Me, I'd probably cut something out of a hardwood scrap. Know any rockhounds? And, do you have carbide drill bits?

Strange. Our kettle whistles seem to be female. No ball(s). They nevertheless make a lot of noise. (When the water is boiling that is.)

Marble? Small (stainless perhaps) ball-bearing? Go to a craft shop and look at glass beads.

Females usually do ;-)
