Giant Sistrum (per506)

http://larkinthemorning.com/

Traditionally the sistrum is a hand-held, somewhat diminutive instrument that nonetheless produces considerable sound. Master Craftsman and musical instrument innovator Nathan Sweet has taken that concept to the next level with the biggest sistrum we've ever seen!

Never before has a sistrum been capable of such projection, range, and diversity of sounds. Perfect for outdoor occasions like drum circles and festivals, the giant sistrum will always command attention and can easily set the rhythm for any percussive event.

Constructed of solid quality tone-hardwoods, the giant sistrum measures eight inches at its widest and a full 40 inches in length. Twelve steel jingles are capable of producing an almost infinite variety of percussive sounds; from a delicate rustling, to a dramatic crash.

'Stomping' the rubber-capped staff section of the sistrum against the ground makes an intriguingly complex sound. Due to its exceptionally long length many other unique sounds can be produced, sounds that would not be possible with a standard sistrum or any other instrument.
