It is then drilled and tested to ensure the desired ‘pock’ sound is produced when struck. After the frogs are sanded and drilled, they are dried in a large kiln. Once fully dried they are painted to give them their distinctive rainbow exterior. The painting method used also adds an aesthetically pleasing 'cracked' effect on the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/PP2132_frog.jpg\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color:#84381e\"\u003eCroak like a frog\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play, scrape the stick along the frog’s ‘spine’ for a distinctive croak sound.
