14" Cactus Rainstick – Handmade Chilean Rain Instrument

Bring the soothing sound of rainfall into the classroom, music room, or percussion collection with this 14" Cactus Rainstick. Handmade in Chile from natural Copado cactus, this traditional-style instrument produces a gentle cascading sound reminiscent of falling rain.

Rainsticks have their roots in northern Chile, where they have traditionally been associated with ceremonies intended to bring rain. Each instrument begins with the dried skeleton of a Copado cactus. Cactus thorns are driven into the hollow shaft in a spiral pattern, allowing small pebbles inside to cascade slowly over them when the rainstick is turned. The result is the distinctive, relaxing sound of rainfall.

A woven fabric band adds a colorful decorative accent. Because these rainsticks are made from natural materials, each instrument is unique, and the color, appearance, diameter, and exact dimensions may vary slightly.
