Good evening. I've enjoyed reading discussions on this forum over the years, but never participated before. My wife and I have been collecting spinning tops for 35+ years, and the mania has been extremely enjoyable. Our collecting interests range from German choral tops and plunger tops to advertising tops and top games. Sadly, our good friend Dan Lassanske passed away last year, so it's time to make some new friends in the spinning top world. Until now, we have been purely top collectors, rather than top spinners, because our top-spinning skills are laughable -- we are more likely to break a window or give the dog a concussion than spin a top successfully; but we'd like to change that. So I'm asking for some advice: can anyone direct me to some video tutorials? I have lots of old Duncan and new BC tops that I can open and use, but am also willing to purchase different tops if that would make the learning process easier. If anyone is interested in seeing some of the tops in our collection, I'll be glad to provide pictures. Thanks in advance for any advice!
