This traditional rain stick fascinates all the little ones in the world by the particular sound it emits. It is the ideal instrument for the first musical awakening of babies. Just hold the rain stick vertically and then turn it like an hourglass to reproduce the sound of the rain. To give a realistic rain effect, several sticks, of varying sizes, are used. The larger ones thus produce a deep and muffled sound, while the small sticks of rain have a drier and more acute sound. You can also shake the stick or tilt it more or less depending on the desired effect.

Made from picked and uncut cacti (according to international ecological legislation), the rain sticks contain pebbles from volcanic rock and produce a dripping sound. These are cacti that grow in the pre-Andes Cordillera in northern Chile. Their average size reaches about 3 meters high and grows in a semi-arid region where they are moistened by a kind of mist from the sea called "camanchaca". This type of semi-arid land allows their existence and the artisans of the region thus create these musical instruments using typical traditional manufacturing techniques.
