Boomwhackers

Boomwhackers are the Fun, Colorful Music Tube!

Boomwhackers are color-coded musical tubes that produce different pitches when struck against surfaces or each other. They are popular in music education for their simplicity, versatility, and engaging nature, making them ideal for rhythm activities and group music-making. In addition, the Boomwhacker tubes can produce a different, but just as pleasing, tone when struck with its accompanying mallets. Their ease of use makes the tubes ideal for group rhythmic activities, music therapy, young music classes, and audience participation. Because of pitch and tonal range similarities, the tube is an inexpensive alternative to xylophones and other high-pitched instruments. Players can even lower the pitch a full octave when placing an Octavator Cap on one end of the tube.
