Made using traditional methods and materials, the Asalatua is easy to play, simple hold one gourd with your hand and swing the other gourd side to side around the hand, creating a clacking sound upon impact.
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.
Easy to play, the Asalatua is great for every level of player and is an ideal option for developing motor skills, coordination, and rhythmic skills. The rich rattle and clack sound produced is ideal for use in conjunction with other instruments as part of a larger ensemble, as well as sounding fantastic on its own.
We use as little packaging as possible for our Honestly Made products, but where it’s needed, we’ve chosen I’m Green renewable polythene – a carbon-neutral material that’s 95% renewable and fully recyclable. Some items may still arrive with our previous biodegradable packaging as we strive to use up existing materials, but whichever form it takes, it’s all part of our effort to reduce waste and supply sustainably.
