PATELLOPHONES
Patellophones are individual bamboo tubes that are tuned so
that each tube functions as its own resonator-in other
words, when you hit them on so or with something, they
produce a clear, identifiable 'note' rather than a
percussive thunk! A variety of different tube lengths
produce a variety of notes...so they come in sets of 10.You
can hit them with soft or hard beaters or sticks,
individually or in glissando or you can hit them on
something-kneecaps are particularly effective-hence the
instruments name! They're great fun,a really useful and
interesting percussion resource for all ages and
abilities-easy to play!! You can only buy Patellophones
