Ashley Reviews: Green Tones’ Kokoriko Clatter

Disclosure: This entry contains affiliate links.

I’ve added a new percussion instrument to our music collection: Kokoriko Clatter
.   In my “parent and me” music class we used a similar instrument, the Clatterpillar
from Hohner.   I was very close to purchasing the Clatterpillar until I discovered Green Tones (which is a subset of Hohner) offer the Kokoriko.  I am a big fan of wooden toys, so this is right up my alley.

The Green Tones’ Kokoriko Clatter is made of rubberwood blocks connected together by a leather strap.  The recommend age is 3+ and it is made in India.   I am very impressed with the sound it produces.   The sound is nice, crisp and fairly loud.

Check out my video to hear a sample of the sound it produces:

My son falls below the recommended age for this product and does not have the motor skills necessary to use it.   Despite not being able to use the instrument, he is very attracted to the sound it makes.   For now, mom gets to have all the fun playing the instrument.

I am disappointed to report I noticed small paint chips in a few spots on the handles before we even had a chance to use it.   The image below is the most noticeable of the chips:

The good news is that is the only negative thing have I to say about Green Tones’ Kokoriko Clatter.
