The pelangi frog guiro is similar to our croaking frog guiro but this one is super bright and colourful. Made from solid acacia wood, carved and painted in hues of red, yellow, green, blue and purple. The rainbow guiro is from Northern Thailand. To play it you will need to run the stick provided along the ridges on its back from rear to front to make it croak or you can strike it on the head to produce a tone block sound. The method of painting produces a wonderful 'cracked' effect on the instrument which is very aesthetically pleasing.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How do you play the Pelangi Frog Guiro?

Hold the frog in your non-dominant hand and remove the beater from its mouth. Scrape the beater along the ridges of its back to create the classic guiro sound. You can scrape up or down, fast or slow, to produce different effects. You can also strike the frog on different parts of its body for wooden tone block sounds—some areas are hollow and give a deeper tone. Mix techniques to create your own rhythms and sound textures.

What’s included with the Pelangi Frog Guiro?

Each purchase includes one frog guiro and one wooden beater—everything you need to start playing right away.

Does it sound like a frog?

Yes, scraping the ridged back produces a raspy croak-like tone similar to a frog. You can hear the sound in our demo video or sample on the product page.
