Africa Heartwood Project 30" Cactus Rainstick from Chile - Authentic Handcrafted Rain Stick Musical Instrument with Rasta Yarn Wrap and Durable Sealant

The sound produced is pleasant and can be either a short burst or a long gentle rain depending on how you hold it. I suggest about a 45 degree angle and turn it slowly as the pebbles fall. This lasts for a good while - certainly several measures of a song.Seems like it could crack with much pressure so I would not recommend this for children

First of all let me say that this item met my expectations.I also have to commend the company and Amazon for getting the item to me although late, in time for a very special Christmas with my granddaughter.It is beautiful cactus wood the rain sounds last about 10 seconds if you hold at a slight angle a little longer if you tilt it to about 30 degrees. I bought this for my granddaughter who has autism and she is my nature girl and absolutely brought joy to my eyes to see her appreciate a present.She's very difficult to buy anything for and have her show real interest I highly recommend this for anyone else who's speaking a sensory item for their own nature baby.

It sounds wonderful but it’s a holiday gift so I cannot open it.

I bought this rain stick to bring into my healing ceremonies. She does not disappoint. Since bringing her in, it’s been every client’s favorite part of ceremony. I want more.

I love this for meditation. I even have an artist friend wood burning a design on it

I love the sound But you have to be careful because the nails they put in it make the edge rough and sharp

I was looking for a nice rain stick and this was the one . My wife loves it , she danced around the yard with it and it rained the next day , and we live in the desert . Would recomend to others is the real thing .

When I was in graduate school, a couple of my professors had rainsticks to get the class' attention when it was time to come back together from group work. I finally decided to get one for my own first grade classroom this year. This is just what I was looking for. As long as it is tilted slowly, it the sound works its way down for about 15-20 seconds, which is perfect for my uses. I wish it were a little thicker, but the length is perfect!
