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.
A key principle of Honestly Made is sustainability, and we’ve modified our packaging of these items accordingly. Many products are simply labelled with a recyclable cardboard tag and shipped exactly as we received them, but for cases where extra packaging is required, we have also adopted 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.
