Karet Rengteng by Papoose

Fair Trade Children’s Instruments

Music evokes joy in everyone, and now you can experience it in your own home or play setting with our stunning karet rengteng instruments.

Natural twines and pala seed nutshells are used in the making of the Karet Rengteng. The way it is played produces a range of earthy effects. It produces a gentle timbre similar to rustling leaves when cupped in the hands and gently rubbed. Shaking it produces a more full-bodied and brighter timbre.

With this instrument, your children can explore tempo (volume) and create soundscapes.
