BoomwhackersBoomwhackers Tubes Treble Extension Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An add-on set of tuned percussion tubes that extends a standard Boomwhackers set upward in pitch. For classrooms that already own the base set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classrooms that own a diatonic set and want more range
- Group playing where each student holds one or two pitches
- Early-childhood and music therapy sessions needing pitched percussion, no technique
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-time buyers — this extends a set, it doesn't stand alone
- Anyone wanting a full chromatic range out of the box
- Rooms where noise is a problem; these are struck and carry
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
Tuned tubes
Pitch comes from tube length, so they arrive in tune, stay in tune, and cannot be adjusted.
Detail 03
Struck, not blown
Play by hitting a palm, thigh, or the floor. No breath control, embouchure, or fingering to learn.
Detail 04
Treble range means short tubes
Shorter tubes are easier for small hands to swing, and sound brighter and thinner than the long low ones.
Detail 05
Sold as a set
Several pitches in one purchase, so a section of a class gets covered at once.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need the base diatonic set for these to be musically useful
- 02Budget for storage — loose tubes roll away and get lost fast
- 03Striking hard surfaces cracks tubes over time; teach hand or leg strikes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need the regular Boomwhackers set too?
In practice, yes. This is an extension that adds upper pitches. On its own it won't cover most classroom songs.
02How do you play Boomwhackers?
Strike the tube against your palm, thigh, or the floor. Each tube sounds one fixed pitch, so a group plays a melody by taking turns.
03Do they go out of tune?
No. Pitch is determined by the length of the tube, so tuning never drifts. Only a cracked or shortened tube changes the note.
04Are they loud enough for a whole class?
Yes for a classroom. The shorter treble tubes are brighter and thinner than long low tubes, so they cut through rather than boom.
