Each rattle has a unique sound, and is its own work of art. These rattles are joyful in tone. The tones are bright, coherent, and come forth with a good (but not loud) volume. The stick of the rattle is a good diameter to hold in your hand or even just between your fingertips, so you can shake it softly or very fast for a continuous rattle.
