Detail 01
Lower octave set
Sounds an octave below the standard diatonic tubes, so it fills the bass line rather than the melody.

BoomwhackersComplete Lower Octave Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Set of tuned percussion tubes covering the lower octave. For classroom music teachers, therapists and group leaders who want pitched, playable percussion.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classroom and group music sessions with no playing experience required
- Adding a low pitched range to an existing Boomwhackers set
- Music therapy and early childhood rhythm and pitch work
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a stage percussion instrument with projection and dynamics
- Players who need the upper octave — this covers the lower range
- Solo practice; these are built around a group passing pitches around
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 to specific pitches
Each tube is a fixed note. Length sets the pitch, so nothing goes out of tune with use.
Detail 03
Hollow plastic tubes
Struck against a hand, floor or leg. Durable and light enough for small children to hold and swing.
Detail 04
Complete set
Covers the full diatonic run in this octave, so a group can play scales and chords without gaps.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Longer tubes mean lower pitch — the low set needs real storage and swing room
- 02Volume is modest; a large room may swallow them without a hard striking surface
- 03Sold as tubes only — plan on a bin or rack for classroom storage
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What notes are in the lower octave set?
It is the complete diatonic run for the lower octave, sitting an octave below the standard set. Check the tube markings when it arrives to confirm the exact pitches.
02Do I need the standard set too?
Not to play. The two sets stack well for two-part work, but the lower octave is complete on its own.
03How are they played?
Strike each tube against a hand, the floor, a leg or a hard surface. Harder surfaces give more volume and a sharper attack.
04Are they suitable for young children?
Yes. They are light, need no technique, and each tube plays one fixed note, so a group can play in tune immediately.
