The rainmaker originates from the Atacama region in northern Chile, where it was played by the Diaguitas as a ritual instrument to call for rain. Today, the percussion instrument is often used in sound therapy and as background music for meditation.
Discover the calming sound of rain with our Sela Rain Makers made from steamed beech wood.
Steaming makes the beech wood harder and more resistant and also gives it its characteristic warm color. The top and bottom of the Rain Maker are covered with a soft layer of cork, which ensures a secure and cushioned stand and protects the wood. The Rain Maker is filled with many small beads which, when moved, start to ripple through the instrument, creating a sound reminiscent of rain. Depending on how heavily and fast the instrument is tilted, sounds ranging from a gentle drizzle to a heavy downpour can be created. Due to their unique design, Sela Rain Makers can create sound continuously for many minutes.
