Fireburned Rainstick is created out love for the soothing, comforting sounds of the gentile rains.
Rainsticks are musical and ceremonial instruments used in ancient times. They were named after the soothing rain-like sound that these instruments produce. Traditionally, rainsticks have been used in ceremonies to invoke and honor the 'rain spirits'. According to South American legend, rainsticks are played to serenade the gods as a reminder that rain is welcomed.
Rainsticks are created of totally natural resources such as cactus limbs, bamboo stalks, or other hallowed woods, needles, and beans, rice, seeds or pebbles. This instrument generates a totally unique sound of its own and cannot be replicated by any other instrument.
If you love to hear the rains fall to the ground during a long soothing rain storm, this is the best instrument for you. It sounds as if the rain is falling to the earth while simply tilting the Rainstick from one end to the other. When it is tilted, it creates a sound unique only to this particular instrument, and cannot be found elsewhere, unless you are in an actual rainstorm.
The trick is to not let the sound be interrupted when all the beans, rice, seeds or pebbles have fallen to one end of the stick. This is done by rolling the stick at a speed that still allows the beans, rice, seeds or pebbles to make enough sound as it is turned opposite side up again.
The rainstick can be tilted 45 degrees allowing the beads to fall from one end to the other creating a sound effect like the sound of rainfall intensifying as the angle increases, it can be tapped to make a more controlled sound, or it can also be used to create percussive rhythms as a shaker. This instrument can accompany other instruments to create beautiful music, or used alone in ritual or ceremonies to represent the element of water as it makes the sound of the rain.
The Rainstick is thought to have been made for calling the rains, and is indigenous to Australia.
It is fun to play and very lightweight. The Fireburned Rainstick measures approximately 16 inches in length, by 2.75 inches in diameter.
