Grammy award-winning Dame Evelyn Glennie DBE says:
“Boomwhackers are so adaptable for the kids, but then of course adults become
curious about them as well! You don't have to feel as though you have to be a
musician or a percussionist to play them. Lightweight and easy to fit in the car,
they're just really handy. I use them for all sorts of things!”
C Major Diatonic
Scale Set
Consists of 8 notes: C' to C"
The diatonic scale allows more songs to be
played and is preferred over the pentatonic set
by most music educators.
The most popular set, it is also found in the
Boomophone XTS Whack Pack.
Tubes range in length from approx 11" to 24".
Chromatics Set
Consists of 5 sharps/flats
for a standard octave.
It forms a different
pentatonic scale which
has its own pleasing
sound and combines with
the Diatonic Set to form
a full chromatic octave
of 12 notes.
Tubes range in length
from approx 13" to 23".

music!

from approx 11" to 24".
Bass
Chromatics Set
Consists of the 5
sharps/flats for the bass
octave. This set combines
with the Bass Diatonic

combines nicely with the
Chromatics set for an
extended range of notes.
Tubes range in length
from approx 27" to 47".
C Major
Bass Diatonic Set

C to B.
The bass tubes add a
