Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Thunder shaker These thunder shakers from the Percussion Plus Honestly Made range produce an incredibly accurate representation of thunder. Use the larger size for a deeper rumble and the smaller for a higher pitched, less intense storm. The thunder shakers are hand made in Bali and are all hand painted with colourful storm scenes using the dot painting style. Lightweight and easy to play, these are fun for all ages and are a great instrument for anyone from schools to orchestras. These thunder shakers are sourced using Fair trade principles and are supplied in two sizes. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of musical instruments from Percussion Plus. These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision. Experiment with your own sounds To play, hold the tube section and shake to produce the sound of thunder and the faster you shake, the more intense the storm sounds. Experiment with the sound – hitting a pencil against the metal spring whilst shaking produces a metallic tone, like a train going through a tunnel. See what sounds you can make! A variety of uses Thunder shakers are a fun stimulating tool for the classroom and can be played by anyone. They not only produce a stimulating sound for young children, but they are also used as sound effects in many contemporary orchestral pieces and sound recordings.
