It makes an engaging addition to music classrooms, percussion collections, world music lessons, sensory sound activities, and creative sound-effect applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainsticks have a long tradition in northern Chile, where they have been associated with ceremonies intended to encourage rainfall. Traditional construction makes ingenious use of the cactus itself. After the Copado cactus has naturally dried, its thorns are inserted into the hollow interior in a spiral arrangement. Pebbles placed inside tumble across these thorns as the instrument is turned, producing its characteristic rain-like sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rainstick is finished with a woven fabric accent for additional color and character. Since natural cactus and handmade decorative materials are used, no two instruments will look exactly alike. Dimensions, coloration, yarn patterns, and other details will naturally vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLonger 20\" size creates an extended cascading rain effect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic-style rainstick made in Chile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from natural Copado cactus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWonderful addition to world music and multicultural classroom lessons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUseful for percussion ensembles, sound exploration, and creative effects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative woven fabric detailing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural construction makes every instrument visually unique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreat for Music Education\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce students to a distinctive instrument from Chile while exploring the connection between music, sound, culture, and natural materials.
