Fluted stick
The ridged stick is meant to be scraped by the smooth one, so one pair gives two sounds.

Rhythm BandRhythm Sticks Fluted Pair
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of wooden rhythm sticks, one fluted for scraping. Classroom and early-childhood percussion for groups, not a performance instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Elementary music classrooms buying sets for a whole group
- Early-childhood movement and steady-beat activities
- Home use teaching a young child rhythm on a budget
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting concert claves with a tuned, cutting crack
- Recording or stage work needing consistent pitch across pairs
- Adults with large hands — these are sized for children
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
Sold as a pair
One player per pair. A class of 20 needs 20 sets, not 20 sticks.
Detail 03
Wood construction
Tone comes from wood striking wood — dry and clicky, with little ring or sustain.
Detail 04
$4.99 price
Priced as a consumable classroom item. Expect to replace them rather than repair them.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sticks come in the package?
Two — one smooth and one fluted, which is one player's set.
02What does fluted mean here?
One stick has ridges cut into it. Dragging the smooth stick across the ridges makes a scraping sound, so the pair does two things.
03Are these the same as claves?
They fill the same role — a pair of wooden sticks struck together — but these are classroom rhythm sticks, not concert claves.
04Are they safe for small kids?
They're standard classroom rhythm sticks. Adult supervision is still sensible, as any wooden stick can be swung or dropped.
