Received my Starry Night Thunder Tube by Remo in the mail today. What’s a Thunder Tube? Technically, it’s a percussion instrument but often marketed as a scientific toy, it is basically a sturdy tube with drum skin over one end. Attached to the centre of the drum skin is a long (in this case 43cm/17 inches) spring that wiggles when the tube is shaken, creating sound waves that are amplified by the tube, sounding not unlike thunder. By placing a hand over the open end of the tube you can vary the pitch of the sound and scraping a fingernail down the spring makes a sound like a creaky door. Thank you to Audiosynccrazy who were just about the only company I found willing to ship this product outside the contiguous United States.
