The high-octave tubes vary in length from 30 to 65 centimetres, while the bass tube is slightly over a metre long. They're very comfortable to hold, and produce a great sound when you strike them against your hand, a table or the floor, for instance. Boomwhackers are sold in a variety of different sets. Anyone can pick up a Boomwhacker and start playing; you don't need any knowledge of rhythms or musical theory to enjoy them. In short, they're unique instruments that have taught hundreds of thousands of people the joy of making music. They're great fun for young and old alike, and they offer a fun way of introducing children to the concept of music and musical notes.
