Wood Block Musical Instrument with Mallet Solid Hardwood Percussion Rhythm Blocks

Seems to sound good. I honestly haven't tried it in our church service yet.

I think you'll be well pleased with this fine wood block. It has audio cut outs on each side, which provide for an excellent tone. Nothing not to love, although I do suggest you snag some hard black rubber sticks to use, instead of the provided short wooden one. It's an absolute no brainer. Snag it!

I thought it would have a richer sound.

When I got the woodblock I noticed that it seemed very strong and firm. The mallet looks very sturdy as well and won't come apart. Though not a true percussionist myself, I experimented with the sounds I could make striking at various spots on the flat end. I can say that in trained hands this woodblock should sounds pretty professional. There are holes to mount it on a stand if you know how to do that.

This is not the wood block you want. Try a different one. This is NOT a musical instrument.

A very clear sound with plenty of natural volume. Easily cuts through the mix. Actually this can be shockingly loud if you wish. I’m a sucker for anything hand percussion and this is one of the best items I’ve added in months.

Reminds me of Music Class in Elementary School, so when my sister had a son I knew I had to get her one, I mean him one. I know she’ll love it when he gets older 😉

Sound is pretty poor. It doesn't have the open tongue-clucking sound I am looking for. Just sounds like hitting any other hard surface in your home or elsewhere. Fine for childrens' use but not suitable for use in a performance or recording.
