Owl

Sound Horse
These horses are made out of PE foam and have a sound membrane in their mouth. When you shake the horses they become rattles or shaker with funny noises. A real sound gag. A pair.
Rainmaker
The Quisca Cactus, which provides the magical body for the rainstick, grows in the Atakama desert at the foothills of the Andes. These cactus live in forests and hold water while they are alive. After they have completed their life cycle, their body dries out and can be used as this magical instrument. The spines are removed, turned around and inserted into the cactus which is then filled with pebbles of different sizes. If you turn the cactus instrument around the pebbles flow over the spines at different speeds, creating the wonderful sound of rain.
Boomwhacker
Brightly colored percussion tubes for the kids and kids-at-heart. You can whack almost anything and — boom, you are making music. The length of the tube defi nes the tune and is identifi ed by the color. It is easy in groups to distribute the tubes by length and color for playing songs. If you put a cap (called an Octavator) on one end the tune lowers one octave. You can also play the tubesholding them vertically and tap on the fl oor; they become a stamping tube. They come packed in a net.
Stomping Tube Set
Stomping tubes were developed by Ingo Böhme. Boing was awarded the third place prize for this instrument at the 1996 World Congress for Musictheraphy in Hamburg. Hold one of the tubes in each hand and stomp them hard on a soft surface. If you play them alone you experience the vibration of the tube in your hand and hear a deep humming sound. They are great for groups of people. The tubes‘ humming waves together and you can pass on different rhythm to each other. The red tubes are sized for children’s hands, blue tubes are for grown ups. There are 5 different pitches available.
Shaker
The small chamber of the shaker includes different pellet-sized metal balls. They come in three different sounds depending on the filling.

Kutu Wapa
If you pound the end of the aluminum tube a long and clear buzzing sound is created which can be modified to a vibrato or ‚wahwah‘ sound by regulating the opening of the hole in the tube. With mallet.
Energy Chime
An intense cymbal-like sound is created through a massive aluminum stick that is attached to a beech wood block. With mallet.
Flexatone
This small flexatone can be used either by childrens hands or for playing rhythmical patterns by using two at a time. The bending tones can be produced by bending down the sheet metal with the thumb. The two balls then shake against the sheet metal. Black.
Beanrattel

Foot Shell
India, with its wonderful tradition of different dances, is the source of these belly dance bells. Rows of bells are sewn onto fine velvet or cotton. Especially suitable to accompany drumming. Sold in pairs.
The Tubophon is a special percussion instrument, where the sound is created by speeding up air in a pipe. Therefore it is related to the stomping tubes and the Boomwhackers. The soft opening of the pipes are beaten with special mallets, that remind on a fly flap. A unique and groovy, singing and percussive sound is created. A simple stand holds the single pipes, that have different length, in a clamp, where every note can be taken out separately and played solo. They can be given out in a group and can also be combined with stumping tubes and Boomwhackers. They come with stand, beater an caps.
