Made with a cane rattan material with flattened bottle caps used for jingles. Makes a metallic tambourine sound. They are easy to hold and play. Based on the ancient sistrum rattle found in Egypt and still played today in East Africa.
Our latest batch has a curved frame (see photo). It sounds the same as the more angular-framed sistrum in the video/sound sample.
We are currently out of stock of the angular-framed sistrums.

Very cool sistrum! I was waiting for a Y-frame sistrum, delighted to see it was a hooped sistrum. Nice size, very portable, enjoy the reuse of flattened bottle caps as the noise makers. Recommend.

This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.

I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!

Multifacsited approach to something fun to do!

Plays like a dream. I have MS and am no longer able to play guitar, but this uke let's me play songs again and sing. I had no idea how much I'd missed having music in my body. Thanks, Lark!

I love these little hand carved wood whistles from Brazil
