25cm Cactus Stem Rainstick

This attractive rainstick is made from a length of naturally fallen cactus. The spines are pushed back through the hardened skin, into the hollow body of the instrument. This is filled with tiny gravel and the ends are then sealed.The Cactus' spines allow for the gravel to trickle slowly down through the obstructions when upended, making a beautiful rain like sound.Rainsticks are believed to have been an Aztec invention, created in the belief that they could bring about rainstorms. Our rainsticks are handmade in Chile and feature a woven piece of traditional Chilean fabric wrapped around the instrument.Approx: 5cm ∅ × 25cmThis is a natural product and shapes will vary slightly. Origin: Chile

Each rainstick is approx 15cms in length
