The PP790-99 is a bulk pallet of 99 sets of our bestselling Wak-a-Tube starter set – the PP790 diatonic treble octave. Designed for distributors, retailers, and educational buyers, it offers a ready-to-go solution for stocking schools, music hubs, community centres and group programmes with a product that’s proven to engage and inspire.
Wak-a-Tubes are brightly coloured percussion instruments made from different lengths of plastic tubing. They’re fun and easy for musicians of all ages to play – simply whack them against a hard surface, hit them against each other, or lay them out on a flat surface and strike them with beaters.
The larger the tube, the lower the pitch, making it easy to explore melody and harmony. You can experiment with dynamics and timbre by varying what the tubes are struck against and how hard you hit them. Built to last, Wak-a-Tubes are virtually indestructible, making them ideal for energetic play. Perfect for group use, they help develop teamwork and ensemble skills, which is why they’re so popular in schools.
The complete range of tubes spans a fully chromatic range of 2 octaves (from C3-C5), but it’s possible to extend this down a further octave (to C2) when the Wak-a-Tubes are used in conjunction with Wak-a-Caps.
Teaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.
Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique - the Colour & Play series.
All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!
For example, the tubes are colour-coded to match the PP271 & PP274 handbells, PP275 & PP276 combi bells, PP273 desk bells, PP935 chime bars, and PP015 hand chimes among others – so what are you waiting for? Start your Percussion Plus orchestra today!
