The traditional rainsticks originated in northern Chile where they are used in ceremonies to bring rain. Made from the skeleton of the capado cactus: when the cactus dies it is dried, hollowed out, and filled with small seeds or pebbles. Small nails are driven through the hull of the cactus in a spiral formation, and when the rainstick is inverted the fill striking the nails creates the sound of water falling. As you use your rainstick the seeds will polish and develop an even finer sound. These rainsticks will not wear out, they only wear in. Due to the natural materials used, this instrument is somewhat fragile in nature and will need to be handled with care.

Summary: Now this is a RAINSTICK!!!
Comment: Good sound out of a traditionally constructed rainstick. The one I got was HUGE. Not just 30" long, but a good 5"+ in diameter. It gives one many options for how fast and heavy the "rain" falls. With a "light shower" one can rain for a very long time - else one can dump it all at once for a "deluge," although this powerful sound is not particularly rain-like. There's an entire range of sounds and durations in between. If you're looking for an impressive and useful rainstick, this is THE ONE to buy.
