Gather for group activities
Playing Wak-a-Tubes in a group is a great way to learn about teamwork and ensemble musicianship while having lots of fun. They are also widely used in corporate team building exercises and events due to the universal appeal of bright colours and noise! The simple playing technique breaks down any barriers to creativity and levels the playing field, allowing the least and most musically inclined to come together and have a wak.
The Wak-a-Tubes Team Builder Pack is suitable for a wide range of settings, from corporate workshops and training days to schools, youth organisations, holiday clubs and community events. Their simple playing technique allows participants to focus on working together, excellent for icebreakers and collaborative activities.
Fun and accessible for all ages
Wak-a-Tubes are easy to play by striking them against a hard surface, tapping them together or using beaters. Their bright sound and colourful appearance make them inviting for children and adults alike, while their durable construction is designed to withstand repeated use in busy educational and event environments.
How do you Wak?
Simply whack them against a hard surface, hit them against each other, or lay them out on a flat surface and strike them with beaters. For the best tone, strike the playing surface a few inches from the end of the tube. Why not try grabbing a couple of tubes and waking them together to produce chords? As a rule, the bigger the tube, the lower its pitch. It can be fun to experiment with dynamics and timbre by varying the material the tubes are hit against, and the velocity with which they are struck. And don’t worry – they’re virtually indestructible!
The Percussion Plus Colour & Play series
Teaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.
Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique - the Colour & Play series.
All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!
For example, the tubes are colour-coded to match the following products:
- PP935 chime bars
- PP271 & PP274 handbells
- PP275 & PP276 combi bells
- and PP015 hand chimes among others

Taking care of your tubes
We recommend not waking against abrasive surfaces, which could damage or deform your Wak-a-Tubes. It is also advisable to avoid bending the tubes or using excessive force when waking. The use of dedicated beaters such as the PP064 will help to prolong the life of your set. They can be kept clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always store indoors and away from direct sunlight.
