Wak-a-Tube flats & sharps bass octave set (PP794)

Introducing the Wak-a-Tube flats & sharps bass octave setTurn your basic PP793 set into a fully chromatic one-octave scale with this expansion pack of flat & sharp Wak-a-Tubes. Pitches included are: C#(Db)28, D#(Eb)30, F#(Gb)33, G#(Ab)35, and A#(Bb)37.Wak-a-Tubes are brightly coloured percussion instruments made from different lengths of plastic tubing. Theyre fun and easy for musicians of all ages to play simply whack them against a hard surface, hit them against each other, or lay them out on a flat surface and strike them with beaters.Playing Wak-a-Tubes in a group is a great way to learn about teamwork and ensemble musicianship while having lots of fun. Unsurprisingly, this has made them very popular with schools.As a general rule, the bigger the tube, the lower its pitch. It can be fun to experiment with dynamics and timbre by varying the material the tubes are hit against, and the velocity with which they are struck. And dont worry theyre virtually indestructible! The complete range of tubes spans a fully chromatic range of 2 octaves (from C3-C5), but its possible to extend this down a further octave (to C2) when the Wak-a-Tubes are used in conjunction with Wak-a-Caps.The Percussion Plus Colour & Play seriesTeaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique – the Colour & Play series.All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus’ Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!They’re perfectly tuned and colour coded to match other instruments in the Percussion Plus Colour Matching Note System. This includes PP271 & PP274 handbells, PP275 & PP276 combi bells, PP273 desk bells, PP935 chime bars, and PP015 hand chimes among others so what are you waiting for?
