[Made in Germany! Shakers made from high-quality materials now in stock!] ROHEMA was founded in 1888 in Markneukirchen, a city known as a musical town in the eastern German state of Saxony (formerly East Germany). The company name is derived from the initials of founder Robert Eduard Hellinger and the city where it was founded, Marknuekirchen. In the early days, the company mainly produced mallets and baton instruments, but today, with the addition of fifth-generation members Maik and Tobias Hellinger, the company has maintained its traditions for over 120 years, using its secret woodworking techniques to produce a wide range of products, including mallets, baton instruments, drumsticks, and hand percussion instruments. All hand percussion instruments have been certified for safety by the German GS mark (Product Safety Act) and have passed the EU's strict toy safety regulation EN71, so they can be used with confidence in a wide range of fields, from early childhood music education to music therapy. This model showcases ROHEMA's advanced woodworking techniques and the warmth of German wood. It features a vertical divider in the middle, allowing for a crisp sound whether you swing it horizontally or vertically. It's a medium-pitch model.
