"A great choice for community groups, showcases and schools, the Premium instruments are of solid, ornate design with powerful gongs, backed up by a generous run of Ceng Ceng cymbals."
— Richard McKerron
Description
The ‘Rainstick - 60cm, bamboo, painted’ is a standard sized version of the classic South American instrument. Easy to play, easy on the eye, easy on the ear and affordable too.
The Rainstick is made from a length of bamboo and is pierced through with an evenly spaced spiral of bamboo pegs. These pegs cause the enclosed pieces of stone to fall more slowly when the Rainstick is turned upside down. The longer the Rainstick, the longer the ‘rain’ shower that results.
This one is 60cm (2 feet) long and works well as a shaker too.
We have included this Rainstick in our ‘Big Stuff Kit - 14 instruments’ collection. Looking for other sizes? We also offer medium and larger versions of this.
