Our natural rainsticks are handcrafted in Chile and produce a mystical sound like rain trickling. The 20" standard length rain stick offers a rain-trickle sound that can last for a few seconds when played correctly; longer than the small 10" or 15", but shorter than 30"-50". Tip the rainstick at an angle and slowly rotate for a longer rain sound, allowing the filler to trickle slowly through the cactus. Our 20" rain stick also works great as a shaker or a rattle! ---- After the plentiful Capado cactus plant lives about 6 decades it dies and dries out, and is then harvested, cleaned, and hollowed out by native artisans. The spines are pushed into the hard wood body, or small sticks are inserted, and many very small pebbles are sealed inside. The unique sound produced by turning the stick from end to end is mesmerizing to children and adults alike, and is still used in traditional rain ceremonies throughout South America today. sturdy construction will stand up to use in the classroom, home, or band over time much clearer sound than plastic or poorly made imitation rainsticks twine dyed in bright Chilean color combinations wrapped around one or both ends of rainstick sanded smooth so it is safe for use by young children (2+ years) SIZE OPTIONS: available in 10in, 15in, 20in, 30in, 40in, and 50in (see our other Amazon listings for World Percussion USA) sanded smooth and coated with sealant for smooth finish and for easier cleaning your purchase of this rainstick helps to support the humanitarian work of Africa Heartwood Project .org in West Africa AUTHENTICITY NOTE: World Percussion USA is the only authorized reseller of this Africa Heartwood Project rainstick.
