Description

 

This is a wonderful little instrument, great for all ages and made from the goatskin left over from the drum-making process. As well as being a great little shaker (in class try using them for emphasising syllables, for counting and lots more), children enjoy decorating them. Goatskin (which is after all what we used to call parchment) can be written on in pencil, ink, felt-tip or watercolours.
 
How it's Played

 

To play, simply hold between your thumb and forefinger (or fingers) and alternately squeeze and release as you shake. When you squeeze the note goes up; when you release the pressure, the note goes down.
