Detail 02
Half the width of the largest model. Shorter bead travel means a lighter, shorter wash.
Detail 03
Shallow enough to hold and tilt with one hand, which the 22-inch cannot do comfortably.
Detail 04
Beads stay permanently inside. Nothing to spill in a classroom.
Detail 05
Tilt for the wave sound; strike the head for a flat frame-drum tone.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Twelve inches is easier to hold, tilt, and pass around, with a shorter sound. Twenty-two gives a longer, deeper wash but needs two hands or a lap.
Clear heads let you watch the beads roll. For therapy and young students, seeing the movement is often the point.
The 12-inch is the more manageable size. It is light and narrow enough to control one-handed.
No. They are sealed between the two heads with no opening.
