This a short video of an African rattle that is constructed of some wood, wire and flattened bottle caps! A nice, dry jingle is produced by this simple percussion instrument. Imagine if you had about twenty of these little beauties rattling away! The gentle sound one of these instruments produces is akin to a small rain stick. Very soothing, really.

Chapman Stick Orchestra circa: Unknown
I came across this interesting photo in the waiting room of the place where my son takes music lessons. A Chapman Stick Orchestra! I would guess this picture was taken in the late '70's/early '80's when the unique instrument was gaining followers. Very cool.
