Wonderful new instrument based on our popular Frog shape twirler but using the big fruit husks also used in our agogo. As with the Frog twirler just put some tension on the string and twist the stick - to produce a wide range of different sounds, varying with the amount of tension and the angle of the string. The creaker creature can also be twirled around to produce a wonderful buzzing noise. Simple, ingenious and a great sound. Also great for showing how sounds are produced as you can see how vibrations set up in the string get amplified inside the fruit husk cavity. |
