Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Cactus stem rainstick

The cactus stem rainstick from Percussion Plus is sourced from Chile, often regarded as the birthplace of the instrument. Made using Cactus stem and pebbles, when inverted the pebbles tumbling through the stick mimic the gentle fall of rain.

The design is simple and uses only natural materials, finished with a colourful cotton wrap for a vibrant accent to the wood-like finish. Available in 25cm and 50cm sizes, a rainstick is a brilliant value item for schools.

Each of these cactus stem rainsticks has been sourced using Fair trade principles. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of musical instruments from Percussion Plus.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.


Made with sustainably sourced materials

These rainsticks are sourced from the Stacama in Chile where the cactus used is deadwood collected by mule from the high inland. Hollowed out and needles removed, the spikes are then inverted and thrust back into the interior before the stem is filled with small pebbles and sealed. When played, the pebbles then bounce off the spikes in a random fashion, thus creating the sound of rain.


The soothing sound of rainfall

Thought to be created by the Mapuche people of southern Chile and Argentina, rainsticks were played in the belief they could bring about rainstorms. Now, the soothing sound can be utilised in sensory classes, music therapy, schools or for texture in performances or compositions.



Our sustainable packaging

A key principle of Honestly Made is sustainability, and we’ve modified our packaging of these items accordingly by adopting fully recyclable and biodegradable glassine paper bags.

Naturally, we don’t want to waste our pre-existing packaging material, meaning you might still receive some of these products in classic, non-glassine packaging. If so, rest assured that your order has contributed to our collective waste management mission.




Percussion Plus Honestly Made products are manufactured in independent family workshops that are too small to join Fair Trade groups or are located in countries that do not have such organisations. These suppliers and their subsidiaries all follow Fair trade principles which include:

  • Agreeing a fair price Use of recycled materials
  • Paying significant amounts upfront
  • Being loyal and reasonable in all dealings
  • Prioritising smaller suppliers over large factories
  • Manufacturing methods that do not damage the environment
