Hi all!
For a personal project I am working on making some whistling arrowheads. So far I managed to make one work but another type is quite eluding me. So I would like to ask you for help. They are essentially fipple whistles mounted to the shaft that uses the air pressure from flying through the air to produce a sound
I made this Japanese styled one before and with some tweaking I got it to work.

Unfortunately this second one I made does not whistle at all, I based it on A Mongol/Chinese variant called Tunken yoro.
So my question is: What did I do wrong here? Is it the size of the holes from the front facing? Is it the attack of the fipple not sharp enough? Maybe not enough speed? I am not familiar enough with how flutes work and its currently very confusing.
Here are some more historical examples as reference:
