Your guide to rainsticks
Rainsticks are long, hollow tubes partially filled with pebbles or other small objects and sealed at both ends. Rainsticks originate in South America, where the tubes are made from dried cactus. These instruments can also be found in Southeast Asia, Australia and Africa, where they are typically made from bamboo.Where are rainsticks played?
Rainsticks are wonderful atmospheric instruments. Their gentle, rain-like sound helps create a calming atmosphere, making them ideal for relaxation and stress relief. Our rainsticks are versatile and can be used in various settings, including live performances, yoga, meditation and sound healing sessions.
Rainsticks can even play a role in education, helping children to develop motor skills and learn about different cultures at the same time.
How do I play a rainstick?
To play your rainstick, simply turn it upside down. When the rainstick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, bouncing off internal protrusions to create a sound reminiscent of falling rain.
How do I care for a rainstick?
Look after your rainstick by storing it in a cool, dry place when it’s not in use, and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
To clean your rainstick, dust it off with a soft, dry cloth. Don’t use water or other liquids, as this could introduce humidity in the bamboo.
