Wood Block Instrument — MADE IN U.S.A. Percussion | Solid Tennessee White Ash with Mallet & Feet, For Adults & Classrooms, Live/Studio, 8"

Good wood and well finished, clear sound. Bigger than I expected but that’s good for projection. I need to find a way to store the mallet so that it doesn’t get separated from the block but the wood block worked perfectly for performance and I anticipate being able to use it for years to come.

I was surprised how nice this was. It feels like it’s made good and it sounds good. I hope it lasts!

Good little wood block- has a nice sound and fits well in hand.

This woodblock's build quality is excellent, with a beautiful finish. It has a nice, solid heft, weighing 12.4 oz (351 g). A mallet is provided, with a stick length of 7-1/2" and 1" diameter ball head, and according to an answered question, the head is made of hard rubber. Both block and mallet were packed snugly with paper inside a reusable, cylindrical, cardboard storage tube, packed inside an Amazon cardboard shipping box. With the provided mallet, I get a loud, clear and resonant sound. On this block, the sweet spot near the center edge resonates around E6 (2nd E above middle C), and I can get a higher pitch, around G#6, by striking near the left or right edge of the resonating channel. I'm quite happy with this instrument and am looking forward to incorporating it into upcoming performances.

This is a beautiful piece of wood but it is exactly that, a piece of wood. There is no special note or tone, in fact you could go in your garage or in your kitchen for that matter and beat on wood and that's what you get. I'm giving 4 stars one because it is nice looking and 2 because I laugh at myself and what on God's green earth possessed me to by a chunk of wood for that price.

I bought this to use in my summer school class to to teach music, rhythm, and drumming. The sound of the wood block is louder and higher than the drums so all my students can hear it above the noise of 18 kids hitting the drums! I bet the 8-inch one would be even louder. It appears to be solid and well-made. There is a sweet-spot in the middle but you can also hit the top or bottom to make a different sound. Just make sure you hit the side with the writing, not the back. I love that it's made in USA. I also like that it's one solid piece-not pieces glued together. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent wood block. The sound is exactly what our group needed. The packaging was carefully thought out and looked beautiful. The craftsmanship of this block is why we always go with small businesses who take care in design and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this company.

I am in a worship band at church and I play various percussion instruments. This was an added feature and sounds great. Truth of the description

Well made, and worth the money. Very happy with my purchase!

Il suono non e' brutto, ma non risuona come altri analoghi che avevo sentito in giro. E' un po' secco e massiccio.

Looks nice, however there was little variation of tone. Not worth the price
