Africa Heartwood Project 30″ Cactus Rainstick from Chile – Authentic Handcrafted Rain Stick Musical Instrument with Rasta Yarn Wrap and Durable Sealant

Experience the enchanting sound of rainfall with our 30″” Chilean Cactus Rainstick, meticulously handcrafted by native artisans in Chile. This instrument produces a mystical rain-trickle sound that can be extended for a few seconds when played correctly—simply tip the rainstick at an angle and rotate slowly to intensify the sound. Versatile in use, it also functions effectively as a shaker.

Our rainsticks are crafted from the Capado cactus, which after thriving for six decades, is naturally harvested, cleaned, and hollowed out. The cactus spines or small sticks are carefully inserted, and tiny pebbles are sealed inside, creating its unique and mesmerizing sound. This traditional instrument is still used in rain ceremonies throughout South America, echoing its cultural significance.

Each rainstick features a sturdy construction and is wrapped in brightly colored handspun Chilean yarn in rasta colors (red, yellow, green). It is finished with a high-quality sealant for a smooth, durable, and easy-to-clean surface, ensuring it withstands frequent use in any setting—from classrooms to music bands.Each purchase directly supports the Africa Heartwood Project, supporting community livelihoods across Africa.

This ensures both musical quality and durability. The process includes hollowing out the cactus, which has matured over decades, and inserting spines and pebbles to create its distinctive rainfall sound.
