The handcrafted Boing Stick features a stunning dot painted tribal floral design and is made from a single piece of bamboo cane, similar in style to our stringed gobijeu instrument. It includes a hanging loop for easy access in the studio and is played by lightly striking it on the hand or a soft surface to create a bouncy “boing” sound, ranging from subtle resonance to a buzzing bee-like effect with a fast attack and release. This unusual musical instrument is handmade, fair trade, eco-friendly, and fun to use, making it ideal for sound design in movies, video games, or general sound effects work.
