5 notes

Boomwhackers5-Note Bass Chromatic Set (Lower Octave) Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Five tuned plastic tubes covering the sharps and flats of the lower Boomwhackers octave. An add-on for groups that already own the bass diatonic set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classrooms already using bass Boomwhackers that need the accidentals
- Playing songs in keys other than C
- Filling in low pitches under a group of upper-octave tubes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-time buyers — start with a diatonic set instead
- Anyone wanting cutting volume; long tubes speak low and soft
- Solo use, since five accidentals won't play a melody
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bass / lower octave
Longer tubes, lower pitch. They sit underneath the standard-range tubes and thicken the bottom rather than carry the tune.
Detail 03
Chromatic set
Opens up keys beyond C, so a class can play along with a recording instead of transposing everything.
Detail 04
Tuned percussion tubes
Pitch comes from tube length alone. What you strike changes tone and volume, never the note.
Detail 05
Plastic construction
Takes classroom handling and wipes clean, which matters when a whole class passes them around every period.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is an add-on; the bass diatonic tubes are not included
- 02Bass tubes are long — check storage space and whether small hands manage them
- 03Low notes are quiet; a large or carpeted room swallows them
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which notes are in this set?
The five sharps and flats of the lower octave. Paired with a bass diatonic set, you get a full chromatic lower octave.
02Can I use these on their own?
Not really. Five accidentals don't make a scale. They're built to fill in a diatonic bass set so you can play in more keys.
03How do you play them?
Strike them against a hand, leg, or the floor. Tube length sets the pitch; what you hit changes the tone and how loud it is.
04Do these work with my standard Boomwhackers?
Yes. They're the lower octave, pitched to the same tuning, sitting an octave below the standard-range tubes.
