Sustain Rainstick, Free-standing design for hands-free use.

Basic Description & Design

The Sustain Rainstick is a modern, professional-grade sound therapy instrument distinguished by its unique rectangular column shape measuring 10x10x62cm. Unlike traditional tubular rainsticks, this design features a long, narrow internal sound chamber. It is typically crafted from high-quality wood and contains a precise amount of small beads or seeds. When tilted, these beads cascade down past a series of internal pins or baffles, creating the signature sound of falling rain.

Key Features & Sound Profile

Its distinctive shape and design contribute to several key characteristics:

Primary Applications

Due to its superior sound quality and sustain, it is primarily used in:

• Sound Healing & Therapy Sessions: As a central instrument to induce deep relaxation, facilitate meditation, and guide breathwork.

• Professional Sound Baths: Valued by practitioners for its ability to create a prolonged, enveloping auditory atmosphere.

• Music Production: Used to create atmospheric soundscapes and natural effect sounds in recordings.

• Personal Mindfulness: An effective tool for personal meditation, stress relief, and creating a tranquil home environment.

How to Use It

The playing technique is simple but intentional:

1. Hold the rainstick vertically or at a slight angle.

2. Gently invert it in a slow, controlled motion. The speed of inversion controls the intensity of the "rainfall."

3. For the full "sustain" effect, allow the sound to completely fade out before the next movement, creating a wave-like soundscape.
