Rosewood Clapsticks

In short: A pair of 20 cm rosewood clapsticks: two sticks that you strike together to beat the rhythm, as in traditional Australian music.

Clapsticks: Also called claves, they belong to the idiophone family. In Australia, songs are traditionally accompanied by clapsticks, the didgeridoo and the rhythm of the dancers. You strike them together to set a beat, accompanying songs or instruments.

Depending on how you strike and hold them, the tone and nuances change.

Rosewood: A noble wood par excellence, it is usually used to make musical instruments and high-end furniture. It is as strong as it is durable. The claves are sold as a pair.
