NEWS FLASH:  The Whack Packs are BACK IN STOCK!!  That means the DadPack is back as well!!!

If you wish to purchase items using a Purchase Order--for example a School System, YMCA, Church group, etc. please contact me by e-mail asking how to get this accomplished!  The easiest solution is if your PO can be attached as a document and email it to me.  Barring that, I will furnish you with my fax number after you email me.  I will be happy to work with you on a case by case basis in such situations.  And, THANKS for the orders!

FREE SHIPPING is included on all books, mallets, tube holders and CD's to ALL US locations, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, etc.  (Even Washington, DC!!) 

Our prices for the tubes, XTS Whack Pack and Ultimate and ALMOST Ultimate Pack INCLUDE shipping costs only to the "lower 48" (and even Washington, DC!)--the competition does not.  Compare the TOTAL price!  

NOTE THAT THE "ULTIMATE PACK" AND THE "ALMOST ULTIMATE PACK" CAN NOT BE DELIVERED TO A PO BOX DUE TO THE SIZE AND COST OF SHIPPING.  Even using UPS it generally runs between $20 and $30 to send these packages.  The PO would be over $70 in most instances--they really don't like large packages!!

Here at Boomwhackers® and More we strive to have a complete line of Boomwhackers®, the Boomwhackers® Tubes, the Boomwhackers® Songbooks, CDs and Curiculum manuals on hand at all times.  Additionally, we have--or attempt to have--all the accessories--Mallets, Tube Caps, add-on sets and anything else Boomwhackers® that you can think of.  Other sites have a price and then ADD IN shipping.  COMPARE the real bottom line cost before you buy! 

Decisions, Decisions--Which Tubes??

From our friends at Whacky Music, the inventors of Boomwhackers® we get the following information:

"The Pentatonic set is used primarily for rhythmic activities and games as all of the notes, played in any combination, sound good together...ergo, instant music.  The Diatonic set is typically used for melodic activities (songs)....Of our 22 publications, the 3-volume Tube Time series was written for the Pentatonic set and is intended for use with younger kids.  The 3-volume Totally Tubular series contains some activities which utilize the Pentatonic set, but was actually written for the Diatonic set.

When facilitating a Boomwhacker activity with a large group of people (who may or may not be musically inclined) and with limited time, the pentatonic scale/set is often preferred because music can be created instantly using rhythm."
