The learning set is intended for all those who want to gradually dedicate themselves to the art of gyroscopes. It consists of very smooth-running tops (2x rallye), goes through the mini-top, which is just as easy to rotate (really cute!) to the medium level of difficulty of the rotating top, until the big hour of the thunderbolt strikes: one of the heaviest top models from the top manufacturer Mader . Only those who manage to make the thunderbolt dance gracefully can truly call themselves a spinning top master.
A wonderful journey into the realm of wooden tops, not only for school children, but also a wonderful gift for adults who appreciate the contemplative calm and concentration of tops.
With his Austrian spinning top manufacture , Klaus Mader is probably the highest quality spinning top manufacturer in the world today. Each Mader Spinning Top has been handcrafted, tested and hand-painted from strictly selected, high-quality woods. And all this in the beautiful Hausruckviertel in Austria. If you haven't seen the manufactory with your own eyes, you can hardly imagine such magical craftsmanship in today's world. This youtube video offers a nice impression of how the unique spinning tops are manufactured at Mader. It is a contribution from Servus TV, who looked around the Mader Kreiselmanufaktur.
The short history of the roundabout
Spinning tops are among the oldest toys in the world. They are distributed worldwide in all cultures of mankind. In fact, at archaeological sites around the world, spinning tops are the oldest toys found. In the course of human history, spinning tops have not only served as toys. They were also used as a pastime for adults, as games of chance, for divination, as gifts to the gods or as grave goods for the hoped-for next life.
