Taps & Scrapes

Explore rhythm through texture with our Fair Trade taps and scrapes collection. From frog guiros and wooden tone blocks to castanets, claves and clappers, these tactile percussion instruments bring sound to life through playful, hands-on motion.

Handcrafted in Indonesia, India, and other music-loving regions, these instruments are perfect for children, classrooms, music therapy, or anyone exploring rhythm in a creative way. Each piece is made from natural materials like wood, coconut, or gourd—supporting small artisan workshops and traditional making.
