Main Description

Boomwhackers Boomophone Chromatics Set

It's a well known recipe - add lots of colour and a high fun factor into the equation and kids everywhere love to learn about music - taking that concept forward into an adaptable and practical format is the latest global 'music and colour' craze - Boomwhackers!

Millions sold worldwide!

This Chromatics Whackpack Set Consists of 5 notes (SHARPS/FLATS)

Our Chromatics set contains the 5 sharps / flats for our standard octave. It forms a different pentatonic scale which has its own pleasing sound and combines with our Diatonic Scale to create a full chromatic octave of 12 notes.

With the company's own description of their products being exactly that, 'Music for the fun of it!', Boomwhackers flamboyantly coloured musical tubes are already a favourite in music education around the world, in addition to being used in team building, music therapy, and by professional musicians (including the awesome 'Plastic Musik' band, based in Las Vegas. More at http://www.plasticmusik.com )

Inexpensive, 100% safe to use and totally environmentally friendly, Boomwhackers Tubes colours are based on their innovative trademarked CHROMA-NOTES™ Coloured Music System. Logical and easy to understand, the Chroma-Notes colour system starts with the note 'C' being red, and then essentially proceeds through the colour wheel as the notes correspondingly progress through the chromatic musical scale.

This innovative system allows for rapid and easy identification of music notes through colour association - and can obviously be applied to different formats; alongside the actual coloured tubes, a Boomophone xylophone-type 8-tube C Major Diatonic Set played with mallets is another fun yet practical option, and so on. Sets of hand bells are available too, utilising the same colour-coded notes system.

Based around a C Major Scale - itself available as a central Diatonic Scale Set - additional Boomwhackers scale sets can be added to give more flexibility to the format, which is especially useful in structured group music making. Thus, a Pentatonic Set and a Chromatic Set are available, along with a Bass Chromatics and Treble Extension Set to widen the range of the Tubes.

Boomwhackers also have a number of accessories and tuition aids available to help groups of all ages get the most out of this safe and fun way of making music, with CDs and songbooks covering different genres of songs - even a colour-coded playing card game is available.

COMBINED SHIPPING:

If you are ordering from more than one of our listings, note that we can offer you reduced combined shipping ONLY if you use 'Buy it now' on all items then request a total from seller BEFORE making payment. You can find the REQUEST TOTAL FROM SELLER button at the top of your basket. We will then send you a combined shipping eBay invoice to pay. This is NOT possible if you have already paid for any of the items you are ordering.

ITALY, RUSSIA AND OTHER PROBLEM DESTINATIONS

Customers in Italy (and other problem destinations) please note that due to the high number of orders that vanish and never arrive whilst in the hands of the various postal services we will NOT send orders over £25 in total value (including postage cost) to problem destinations using standard untracked airmail. If your items total more than £25.00 please arrange to pay for tracked and signed shipping so that your order may be shipped safely and securely. If the tracked shipping option is not offered in the listing, please use the following listing to pay the extra cost of this.

Tracked & Signed supplemental charge to Italy, Russia and other problem destinations.

Please also note that orders sent to Italy and Russia may take MUCH longer than eBay's estimate to be delivered and, whilst some orders do arrive within a week or two, many orders sent to these countries are not delivered for three or perhaps even four weeks! This is entirely outside our control, as we ship within one working day and once your order is in the hands of your country's Postal service, there is nothing we can do to get it to you any faster.

Please DO NOT send messages with the title "Item not received" as these open complaint cases against us and damage our seller rating! Instead please use the general "Other" heading to ask about your delivery if several weeks have passed.

Lastly, please note that when eBay asks you "Did the item arrive on or before" their estimated delivery date, it also damages our seller rating if you answer "No", so bear in mind that we always ship within two working days, so if you answer "No" because your local postal service (especially in Italy!) has taken weeks to deliver, you are punishing us, not them!

Thank you all for your kind consideration of the above and remember that we will always do our very best to sort out any problems or questions you may have related to your order if you contact us using the "Contact Seller" and (if the choice is given) "Other" ask a question of seller options.
