Hand Pumped Chime Whistle Doorbell
By Vic Searle

Plans for building these "locomotive whistles" are available from

I built one and used it for a doorbell for years and now it resides
on top of the toy counter of the Tokyo Mitsukoshi Wurlitzer.  It
sounds in the key of D-flat and is very useful when I play "I bin
wukking on de railroad!"
