How does it work?

Simply tap a tube on just about anything (tables, chairs, the floor or even another tube) and you're making music! The BoomWhackers have a "sweet spot" for the best tone, usually a few inches from the end of the tube. You can even lower the tone by blocking the end of a tube.

What does it teach?

BoomWhackers provide a simple way to introduce kids to the science behind sound. Learn about the musical scale and how the tone of many musical instruments is controlled by their size. Discover the joy of making chords and melodies with your friends!
