30" Cactus Rainstick from Chile

I bought one just like this at a truck-stop off I-90 about 30 years ago. I lost track of it over the years. I loved that one and I love this one. The sound is so soothing.

I love the sound! The sound is so much longer with this rainstick. The quills from the cactus that are on the inside combined with the beans, rice, rocks or whatever they put inside, make a great sound.. There’s only one caution: some of the quills are still poking out, so be careful where you touch it. They are not out far enough to pierce the skin, but were surprising to me.

Nice rain stick...with a little practice I was able to produce a more consistent sound of rain.

First of all let me say that this item met my expectations. I also have to commend the company and Amazon for getting the item to me although late, in time for a very special Christmas with my granddaughter. It is beautiful cactus wood the rain sounds last about 10 seconds if you hold at a slight angle a little longer if you tilt it to about 30 degrees. I bought this for my granddaughter who has autism and she is my nature girl and absolutely brought joy to my eyes to see her appreciate a present. She's very difficult to buy anything for and have her show real interest I highly recommend this for anyone else who's speaking a sensory item for their own nature baby.

The sound produced is pleasant and can be either a short burst or a long gentle rain depending on how you hold it. I suggest about a 45 degree angle and turn it slowly as the pebbles fall. This lasts for a good while - certainly several measures of a song. Seems like it could crack with much pressure so I would not recommend this for children

I love my rain stick

Not as big as was hoping for Not a good value Very thin not thick

I have been attempting to lead a more contemporary music service once a month in a little country church. "Contemporary" for them would be songs from the 80's. I don't think anyone there had ever heard a rain stick before. After hearing it, each of the ladies on the team with me wanted to take it home because it made such a pleasant and relaxing sound. Members of the congregation commented about it after the service asking what it was. It was a big hit! So much so that everyone wants to use it. We're very happy with it.

Excellent, it has a beautiful sound, exactly what I wanted :)

Looks solid and authentic.

I got this for soundbaths to use with my singing bowls. Nice size for the price. Beautiful sound and it feels really grass roots handmade. Only thing it was quite rough and prickly. It felt like I could get a splinter, so I sanded down the prickly parts (for safety). Easy enough with sand paper. I didn’t care for the little rasta band on the end, so I cut it off. I decided to decorate it by painting it with acrylic paint which went on easily.
