Everything you need for a new way to play Boomwhackers tuned percussion tubes- like a xylophone! Using the Xylotote tube holder lets you lay the plastic Boomwhackers tubes flat for fast, easy individual play with the included mallets. When you're done playing the Xylotote lets you roll everything up into a compact bundle fastened with hook-and-loop fasteners; an outside pocket holds the songbook; and a carrying handle makes it easy to transport. The Boomwhacker pitches start at middle C, with a different color is used for each pitch: C1 (red), D1 (orange), E1, (yellow), F1 (light green), G1 (aqua), A1 (violet), B1 (fuchsia), and C2 (red). The Octavator cap, when placed on the end of a Boomwhackers tube, lowers the pitch of the tube by one octave (8 notes lower in sound).
