Sale

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A tuned tube set covering a C major scale in the lower octave. For classroom and group play where the bass line needs to be heard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Elementary music classes needing a bass voice under existing tubes
- Group drum circles where everyone gets one pitch
- Adding low-end root notes to a boomwhacker ensemble
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a full chromatic set with sharps and flats
- Anyone needing a solo melodic instrument with range
- Small hands or tight spaces — low tubes are long
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
Diatonic C major
Naturals only. You get C major and its modes, but no accidentals for other keys.
Detail 03
Tuned tubes
Each tube plays one fixed pitch. Ensemble music is built by assigning one tube per person.
Detail 04
Percussion tubes
Struck against a hand, floor, or surface. Tone changes with what you hit.
Detail 05
Set of eight scale degrees
Enough for one player per note in a class, or one person handling a simple bass part.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you have the standard-octave set if you want two-octave arrangements
- 02Longer bass tubes need more swing room and floor space per student
- 03Octavator caps that drop pitch further are a separate purchase
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these work with the regular Boomwhackers?
Yes. This set is tuned to the same C major scale an octave lower, so it layers under a standard set for bass parts.
02Can I play songs in other keys?
Only keys that use natural notes. Anything needing sharps or flats requires a chromatic add-on set.
03How loud are they?
Loud enough for a classroom. Volume and tone depend on what you strike — a hand is softer, a hard floor is brighter.
04Is this good for a home with one kid?
Less so. These are built for group play where each person holds one pitch. A single player can only do simple lines.
