Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Until the beads finish falling. A large tube gives a longer pour than a small one, and holding it shallower stretches it further.
Mostly by tilt angle and mic placement. Steeper tilt sends more beads through at once for a louder wash.
Yes. That is a common use. The sustained, unpitched wash works well for relaxation and classroom settings.
No. The tube is sealed with the beads and pins inside. Just avoid dropping it or storing it where it can be crushed.
