Televi, two small natural wooden balls filled with beads and connected by a string. One ball is held in the hand and the other is swung from side-to-side around the hand, creating a "clack" upon impact. Hold and shake the Televi for a soft shaker sound. The Televi's are said to improve your sense of rhythm, and eye-hand coordination. They are also found to be used for relaxation and as a tension-release activity. The string length between the balls is 3.5."

The televi is found through out the West Coast of Africa. The name of this simple percussion instrument will vary depending on the area. Just a few other names include: kitikpo, kosika, asalatua, akasa, bakita, kokosiko, and kosika. Great for kids and adults with endless rhythmic possibilities.

8" x 10 1/2". Nickeled brass with goatskin head. The Cuica is also known as a puita, boi or onca. Cuica, in various forms, are found world-wide. However they are most closely associated with Brazilian Samba music. It is believed that the cuica was used in Africa as a call for the male lion since the sound mimics the roar of the female lioness. So if you have any lions that want to samba- this is the instrument for you. If you are short a lion, you will still enjoy the great sounds that can be derived from the cuica.

Shaman Drum 14"x2", fixed goatskin head, mulberry frame, includes leather beater.

Two fixed goatskin heads on a frame contain beads that bounce and roll along the inside surfaces. Sounds like rain and thunder.  You can play this drum several ways for multiple sounds.

14 inch diameter by 2.5 inch deep

This is a replacement rubber bulb for a taxi horn with a 5/8 inch fitting. 

It is approximately 4" in diameter with a brass tube of approximately 5/8" in diameter and 1 3/4" in length. 

It fits item codes: BULL, BULS and BULH.

Straight 21" Bamboo pipe in D4. 4 front holes and 1 back hole. The sound is made by blowing in the end of the flute. Hold the flute under your bottom lip and blow over the crescent cut at the top edge. These flutes are within 5-8 cents of pitch; rarely are they off by 10 cents. A cent is a unit of measuring intervals in music. Each half step (semitone) is made up of 100 cents.

Smooth set of sheesham bones: 7" long x 7/8" wide, with a slight curve. The thickness tapers over the length from 1/16" to 1/4". The dense hard sheesham gives a clear tone when struck.

Hold one between the index and middle fingers, so the flat side is between the fingers and the concave curve is toward you. This one should hang down along your inner wrist. The second one is held between the middle and ring fingers with the flat side between the fingers and the convex curve facing the convex curve of the first bone. Let it hang down along your inner palm and swing freely. Now curl your middle finger so that it lays on the edge of the first bone (the one between your index and middle fingers).

The first bone should be held so it will not move. Curl your ring finger so it lays on the edge of the second bone. This should be held, but allowed to move. The second bone will move and slap into the first. Now hold your hand so your thumb is pointing at your chest. Then, twist your wrist away from you, once; as if cranking. This is the basic slap. The bones will clap against each other in a variety of rhythms. Lots of fun.

Pair of Sheesham Castanets.   The pair consists of two sets, a left and a right.  Each set has two corded clam-shaped sheesham clappers.  Each pair has a slightly larger male set and a slightly smaller female set of castanets usually marked M and F respectively.

To play, hang one set from each of your thumbs so they rest in the palm of your hands. Then drum your fingers on the shell. The sheesham produces a slightly mellower tone than castanets made of ebony.

We do not recommend them for beginners, who should build up their finger strength and dexterity on smaller sets.  2 5/8 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches long (6.75 x 9 cm). Storage bag included.

Wooden Ratchet, Single, Long. 7.25" long the sheesham, tongue locks into a gear, creates a loud clack-clack-clack-clack when spun. Since this is longer, the clack is lower.
