The 40 Chilean Cactus Rainstick Musical Instrument with yarn wrap and sealant from Africa Heartwood Project TM is a natural and authentic rain stick that produces a loud and realistic rain sound. Made from the copado cactus plant in Chile, South America, this rain stick is harvested after the plant naturally dies in the desert. The duration of the rain trickle sound can vary depending on the technique used. If turned straight up, all the pebbles will fall through the cactus spines within 6-8 seconds. However, tipping it at an angle can double the length of the rain sound. By continuously rotating and tipping it with fingers, the trickle can last for more than 25 seconds. Techniques like these are demonstrated in a YouTube video by Africa Heartwood Project. The rain stick is filled with tiny beans or seeds and does not require any water. It is sealed with a hardening, clear glue that protects the wood and makes it easier to clean. The rain stick itself is a natural brown color, varying from light to dark, with patterns and colors on one end created by yarn wraps. Individual selection of rainsticks is not available. Customers have praised the rain stick for its natural sound, great quality, and authentic craftsmanship. Some have even used it as a sensory toy or purchased it for a church choir. However, one customer did mention the need to wrap the rain stick with cotton thread to prevent the pins from working out. Overall, the 40 Chilean Cactus Rainstick Musical Instrument receives positive reviews for its realistic rain sound, beautiful craftsmanship, and versatility.
