20" Chilean Cactus Rainstick from Africa Heartwood Project
Caitlin
Product Description
Our natural rainsticks are handcrafted in Chile and produce a mystical sound like rain trickling. The 20" standard length rain stick offers a rain-trickle sound that can last for a few seconds when played correctly; longer than the small 10" or 15", but shorter than 30"-50". Tip the rainstick at an angle and slowly rotate for a longer rain sound, allowing the filler to trickle slowly through the cactus. Our 20" rain stick also works great as a shaker or a rattle! ---- 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 all who hear it, 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 * handspun Chilean yarn dyed in bright rasta colors (red/yellow/green) wrapped around one end of rainstick * sanded smooth and coated with sealant for smooth finish and for easier cleaning * your purchase of this rainstick helps to support the humanitarian work of Africa Heartwood Project in West Africa * SIZE OPTIONS: available in 10in, 15in, 20in, 30in, 40in, 50in, 60in (see our other marketplace listings for World Percussion USA) *

Honestly, after I unpacked it, I couldn't put it down...LOL! OK, I admit that I'm OLD & probably a bit more easily entertained than most folks (especially after 6 months of self-isolation..Ha! Ha!)...but this thing is absolutely DELIGHTFUL! The outside does have a few little rough "nubbies" where (I assume) the spines were removed from the cactus...but they're certainly nothing "treacherous" & should be easily remedied with a brief brush of an emery board. The appearance is nothing terribly attractive, and I confess that the colorfully painted bamboo sticks are definitely more visually appealing. HOWEVER, for my purposes, I chose to go with the more "organic" look, traditional style, and durable design of a cactus stick. I'm really happy that I did, because the SOUND (most important feature for me, personally) is WONDERFUL! I actually wanted something that could be played as a rain sound, but could also be held in one hand & shaken as a rattle, to open/clear sacred space, for meditation or card reading. BINGO! This stick is PERFECT for both purposes...and, at 20 inches, is compact enough to be stored on my altar shelf when not in use.
I've read complaints by some that the sound from smaller (shorter) sticks doesn't last long enough...but I must say, if you tilt this one only slightly & rotate it while the contents are falling, it's actually possible to sustain the effect for a fair amount of time. Apart from that, you can feel good about buying this stick, knowing that your purchase helps to support the Africa Heartwood Project! Just for clarification, I did NOT receive a free or discounted product for writing this review...I'm simply "in love" with it! <BLUSH> I only hope this might help someone else to make a more informed decision about a first-time (or any time) rainstick purchase! Thanks for your attention & happy rattling to one & all! ;o)
