ABSTRACT:
A hand-held percussion instrument. A hollow, elongate cylindrical member has a plurality of musically-pleasing sound producing beads disposed therein, in free-flowing disposition so that oscillation or other movement of the member causes said beads to impinge upon the internal walls of the instrument, thereby producing said sound.
A pair of symmetrically positioned convex walls are juxtaposed mid-length of the instrument, interiorly thereof, and therefore define a bi-convex-shaped volume therebetween. A plurality of circumferentially spaced ports open the volume defined by the walls to atmosphere so that sounds generated by the impinging of said beads against said convex walls flows to the listener through said ports.
The instrument preferably has opposed frusto-conical ends and a support stand adapted to releasably engage either of said ends is provided.
