Boomwhackers Octavator Tube Caps

As a Suzuki piano teacher, I work with small children. Even though they're young, their repertoire is quite extensive. I wanted to have a set of low Boomwhackers so we could play the songs that need more than one octave, but the tubes in the bass set were MUCH too long for a 4- or 5 year old to use successfully. So I simply bought another set of C Major Diatonic tubes and put the Octavator caps on them. My students love them and are genuinely thrilled to be able to play all the songs in Book One on the Boomwhackers (I got the treble extension pack as well quite a while ago).

I highly recommend getting these for your boomwhackers! Without the end caps, the boomwhackers tend to have a more hollow sound. You can hear the note, but it isn't very strong. When you put the end caps on, it amplifies and deepens the pitch by an octave. Love these and love this instrument!

These caps really help the shorter tubes work better. They allow you to double up on the C, which is heavily used in simple songs. They are a must have item with the Boomwhackers.

Boomwhackers and octavers perform as they should. It is not a sharp clear tone from the tubes if that is what you're expecting, but you can definitely distinguish the notes even if you aren't musically inclined. It's not a bad sound by any means, just a different sound. It is more native or tribal sounding. Octavers do what they are described to do which is to lower any of the notes by one full octave, which is 12 notes. So if you have the "C" tube but want to play a lower "C", then just put one octaver cap on either end of the tube. Kids love it, but they're only plastic so they can be bent and warped easily.

I just like my boomwhackers more bass-y. I've used these on a full two-octave chromatic set and they're great. The lower octaves carry better and also improve the tone.

These octavator caps are the perfect addition to your class set of Boomwhackers. It brings the musical experience to a new level.

they are how they perform with the tubes. They seem to be fairly well made for general use, foremost being music education tools/instruments. It would be a good thing to have a heavier gauge version for adult drumming circles

Octavator caps drop the pitch to the spot where my students sing along more correctly. Also, having used them for several years, my Boomwhackers last longer when the caps are on them!

We have had a blast using the octavators. Not sure why it says xylophone at the end because it is definitely for boomwhackers but great creation. The tuning isn't a perfect octave but it is close enough that only a trained ear or perfect pitched person will likely hear that it is slightly off.

Zu Boomwhackers braucht man nichts sagen. Das ist einfach die geniale Erfindung, ein super Produkt. Bei Music Store kommt dann immer noch der Top Service, die Zuverlässigkeit und das großartige Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Einfach alles bestens!

S'adapte parfaitement aux Boomwhackers. Je trouve que ces embouts font un son grave sonore et rond. De plus, ça permet aux tubes de moins de déformer. Je recommande !

Son estupendos los tapones, encajan a la perfección y cambian realmente una octava el sonido de los tubos.

Assolutamente consigliati: abbassano di un'ottava il suono, adattandosi senza problemi.
