The tubes sound best when their cross-section is basically round. They may be oval or flattened out when you purchase them or get that way through playing or storage.

For the best sound simply apply pressure along the length of the tube with your hands until it becomes round again.

Boomwhackers are very durable and should last indefinitely with normal use. However following simple rules will extend their lifespan.

• Avoid whacking surfaces which can scratch the tubes.


• Avoid whacking the tubes label.


• Clean with a soft, damp cloth.


• Use only a mild soap if needed


• Rinse with water and dry.
