The Boomwhackers Xylotote tube holder is a practical storage and performance accessory designed to organise Boomwhackers tuned percussion tubes and transform them into a playable, xylophone-style instrument. Ideal for classroom use, workshops, and group music sessions, it provides a simple way to structure musical activities while keeping instruments secure and easy to transport.
The holder accommodates up to eight Boomwhackers tubes, making it perfectly suited to standard diatonic classroom sets. Using integrated elastic straps, each tube is held firmly in place while still allowing it to resonate freely when struck with mallets. When laid flat, the Xylotote creates a clear note layout that helps learners visualise pitch relationships and play melodies more accurately.
Constructed from durable cotton with elastic and hook-and-loop fastenings, the Xylotote is designed for repeated classroom use. It can be rolled up for compact storage and transport, with space to carry additional accessories such as mallets and teaching materials. Multiple holders can also be connected end-to-end, allowing educators to extend the playable range and support larger group performances. Combining organisation, portability, and enhanced playability, the Xylotote is an essential accessory for making Boomwhackers more structured and effective in music education.
The Xylotote holder converts loose Boomwhackers tubes into an organised, xylophone-style layout, making it significantly easier for learners to understand musical structure. By arranging notes in a clear sequence, students can visually and physically connect pitch order with sound, supporting melody playing, scale work, and early composition. This structured setup helps bridge the gap between exploratory play and more formal music learning.
Designed with practicality in mind, the Xylotote functions as both a storage unit and a carry case. Tubes are secured using elastic holders, allowing them to remain in place during transport while still being quick to access when needed. The roll-up design ensures compact storage, making it easy for players to move equipment between classrooms or store it efficiently when not in use. Additional space allows accessories such as mallets and teaching materials to be kept together in one organised system. Multiple holders can also be connected in order to create extended note ranges which allow for more complex arrangements and larger group performances.
