Hand Made Native American Indian and Ethnic Musical and Rhythm Instruments
Hands Around the World is dedicated to providing a marketplace for traditionally produced Native American musical and rhythm instruments. Instrument making is one of the oldest Native American arts, being present in largely unchanged form. The Indians had created a repertoire of instrument types and design elements specific, if not unique, to each tribal grouping. The variety and beauty of these creations are prized throughout the world. Musical and rhythm instruments are ideal for starting a Native American art collection.
Some of the musical instruments that may be offered by Hands Around the World are bells, whistles, rattles, ocarinas, flutes, and drums. The artists come from Mexico and South America including the Amazon Basin and the Andes Mountains. These include the Yekuana Indians, a very traditional tribe living along the riverbanks in the Amazon Rainforest in Venezuela. They make sacred Shaman's rattles made from a gourd with a hand carved handle.
They also have musical and rhythm instruments from Mexico and Indonesia.
