Africa Heartwood Project 30" Chilean Cactus Rainstick Musical Instrument with Yarn wrap and sealant

Product Description

Our natural Heartwood Cactus Rain Sticks are handcrafted in Chile and produce a mystical sound like rain trickling. The 30" length is considered a large rainstick, and allows for an extended rain fall duration. By slowly rotating the rainstick while holding it at a gengle angle, the rain fall will last much longer. --- 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 * Bright yarn dyed in red/yellow/green colors is wrapped around one end of the rainstick * clear sealant applied for a smoother, more durable and moisture-resistant finish * in some cases the spines may work their way out of the cactus body during shipping. if this is uncomfortable, simply use a butter knife or flat screwdriver to gently press them back into the rainstick. * your purchase of this rainstick helps support the efforts of Africa Heartwood Project

Features

• HERITAGE HANDCRAFTED IN CHILE - Each 30" rainstick is handcrafted by native artisans from Chile using the naturally grown Copado cactus found in the deserts of Chile, South America. This ensures both musical quality and durability. The process includes hollowing out the cactus, which has matured over decades, and inserting spines and pebbles to create its distinctive rainfall sound.
• CAPTIVATING RAINFALL SOUND - Enjoy a richer, clearer, and more resonant rain-like sound with our rainstick. It offers a rain-trickle sound that can last for a few seconds when played correctly. Tip the rainstick at an angle and slowly rotate it for a longer rain sound, allowing the filler to trickle slowly through the cactus.
• CULTURALLY RICH DESIGN - Wrapped in brightly dyed rasta-colored Chilean yarn (red/yellow/green), this rainstick is not only a musical instrument but also a vibrant cultural artifact. The colors and construction reflect a deep heritage and add a visually appealing element to its design.
• ENHANCED DURABILITY AND MAINTENANCE - Smoothly sanded and finished with a high-quality sealant, our rain maker is water-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. This ensures it maintains its aesthetic appeal and functional integrity over time.
• SUPPORTING GLOBAL COMMUNITIES – Each purchase contributes directly to the Africa Heartwood Project, supporting the livelihoods of communities in Africa. Your choice makes a difference, blending the joy of music with social impact.
