Noise instruments - percussion - are not just a drum and a rattle. If you decide to buy percussion instruments and look at our section, you will see for yourself. A wealth of colors, shapes, sounds - these are noise folk instruments.
Their main difference from all other musical instruments is that they can be played without musical training. Of course, having perfect pitch and 8 years of music school behind you, you will even play a simple metallophone more correctly and cleaner, and dexterity in using castanets or a triangle is necessary... However, noise instruments are the first children's musical instruments.
Even a one-year-old baby can make noise with a maracac, ring a tambourine or play an unknown melody on a xylophone, and how much fun he will have!…
Tambourines and tambourines
Some of the most famous children's noise instruments are. Here, however, you need to pay attention to who is who. Most often, when it comes to children's toys, a tambourine is a small round instrument with a membrane in the middle and bells in a circle. But this is not a tambourine at all, but even a tambourine! Moreover, tambourines can be made with or without a membrane in the middle: the main thing is the bells!
But the tambourine has no bells. But it has a durable membrane, which is supposed to be knocked on, and is also small in size - so that it is convenient to hold the tambourine in your hands.
Jingle sticks and bells
No, probably toys are more fun and a musical instrument is simpler than. The bells are attached to a bracelet that can be worn on your wrist or even your ankle to jingle to your heart's content. There is even a whole set of 20 bracelets with bells in a jar - enough for a large cheerful group of kids (and maybe adults)).
He offers another option for bells - on a wooden base, so that it is comfortable to hold in your hand.
The jingle stick is more like a real musical instrument, but it is also simple, like everything ingenious. Here the bells are simply mounted on a long plastic or wooden base - waving this, producing melodic sounds, is a pleasure!
Castanets and rattles
If bells and jingle sticks will be of interest to little ones who like to jingle, then - for those who like to rattle)) Meet: for sale in our online store there is a fan rattle - a Russian folk noise instrument produced by the company Cute children's ratchet, painted in the colors of the rainbow, also available in . But Flight produces ratchets of a different type - circular, made of wood and bamboo.
Castanets - a noise instrument originally from Spain - are very good for developing hand motor skills, because in order for the halves of the castanets to hit each other rhythmically, you need to practice. However, there is also a simpler version of castanets for children, where both halves are attached to the handle - such a children's noise instrument is offered, for example, by the company.
Maracas
The Cuban percussion instrument with the sonorous name “” is, in fact, a rattle for adults. Which, of course, children play with great pleasure. From us you can purchase small children's maracas that are just like rattles (or rattles just like maracas) - for example, produced by the company or, as well as play gift maracas in the shape of a cat or dog from Veston, as well as very serious ethnic instruments of the same : there are options with natural pebbles, with nuts, with feathers and, of course, with appropriate ornaments.
Shakers
A musical instrument, also distinguished by its amazing simplicity and also very reminiscent of a rattle. Shakers in the shape of vegetables or fruits look funny - there are a lot of them. Shakers, like maracas, produce a pleasant and quiet rustling sound due to the rolling of the peas inside.
Metallophones and xylophones
Both the xylophone and the metallophone are instruments that are familiar to almost everyone. But not everyone knows what the difference is between them. And the difference is very simple - a metallophone has metal plates, while a xylophone has wooden plates. Accordingly, the sound differs: in the first it is ringing and clear, in the second it is soft and muffled.
Our range also includes both children's play models and instruments produced by companies specializing in the production of musical instruments. Among them there are serious unpainted ones, like Flight, and childish ones painted in all the colors of the rainbow, like those designed based on Disney cartoons, and even a “complex” chromatic version of the metallophone - with two rows of plates.
Triangles
Despite all the seeming frivolity of its appearance, it is, nevertheless, one of the important instruments in the symphony orchestra. Imbued with the importance of this idea, you can think about purchasing a musical triangle for your children. We have triangles of different sizes on sale - so that it is convenient for both children and adults to extract melodic sounds from this instrument.
Various noise instruments

How do you like the idea of inviting your family to the table using a metal gong? And after lunch you can meditate to the enchanting sounds of bar chimes.
Noise Tool Kits
Good as a gift for a small child, and as an unusual souvenir for a person who has connected his life with music. And, of course, for preschool and school-age children, such a set can be the first step into the world of creativity. In accordance with the age of the recipient, you can choose either a simple set of tambourine, maracas and metallophone, or a very thorough set of percussion of 17 items. The latter is enough to organize a small school orchestra.
The use of rattles in wedding ceremonies suggests that in the past, in addition to being a musical instrument, this instrument also performed a mystical function of protecting young people from evil spirits. In a number of villages, not only the tradition of playing is still alive, but also the tradition of making rattles.
The simplicity of the design made ratchets very popular in ancient times. However, at present, the rattle is successfully used as one of the main instruments in folk instrumental ensembles, along with accordion, wooden and gusli.
In addition, the ratchet performs an important developmental function - it is much easier for young children to explore this world through the loud, ringing sounds of the rattle. A ratchet can also be an excellent gift. Anyone, even a beginner, will find it easy to make sounds from a ratchet, which can be great entertainment in your spare time.
Design
Ratchets consist of a set of 18 - 20 thin planks (usually oak) 16 - 18 cm long. They are connected to each other by a thick rope threaded through the holes in the upper part of the planks. To separate the planks, small wooden plates approximately 2 cm wide are inserted between them at the top.
There is another ratchet design - a rectangular box with a wooden gear placed inside, attached to a small handle. A slot is made in one of the walls of this box, in the hole of which a thin elastic wooden or metal plate is fixedly fixed.

Using various objects (a vice, a round mandrel, a hammer, a pipe as a lever), we need to bend a piece of reinforcement into this shape for the future ratchet wrench:

We cut off an extra piece of reinforcement from the reinforcement with a grinder, cut it at an angle, as can be seen from the photo, the acute angle should go into the middle of the wrench, it is better to make it a little longer with a margin, since we will still have to adjust it to the gear.

We place our homemade gear made from a bearing inside the reinforcement bar.
At the other end of the reinforcement we make an eye, for this we drill a hole and thread a steel wire. It will need to be screwed onto the back of the wrench so that the gear is held inside and does not fall out, and the rod does not unbend.

Story
During archaeological excavations in Novgorod in 1992, two tablets were found, which, according to V.I. Povetkin, were part of a set of ancient Novgorod rattles in the 12th century.
Rattles were used in wedding ceremonies when singing songs of praise with dancing. The choral performance of a great song is often accompanied by the playing of an entire ensemble, sometimes numbering more than ten people. During a wedding, the rattles are decorated with ribbons, flowers, and sometimes bells.

Auto repair school - Do-it-yourself car repair
Nov 4, 2016 Garage by admin
I think that every car enthusiast, car mechanic, electrician, plumber has his own favorite tool, which is made specifically for his hand and has been serving reliably for many years. When such a tool (wrench, screwdriver, pliers, hammer, etc.) breaks down and becomes unusable, the mood from such an event worsens sharply. Here you have the loss of a faithful comrade-in-arms, and additional financial expenses... Sound familiar? So, for example, it happened with me. One fine day, my favorite ratchet wrench from TOPTUL broke. At first, however, I thought it was nothing serious. Since the key is not in use for the first day and a similar problem has already happened to it a couple of times (while tightening it started to slip, running idle). And this problem was solved by disassembling, cleaning and washing the internal contents of the key, reassembling and then lubricating the mechanism. That's all. After such a simple procedure, the key began to work like new.
But this time washing and cleaning did not give any results. The ratchet continued to slip. A careful examination of the mechanism parts revealed signs of wear on the toothed roller and, especially, the locking pawls. In photo number 1 it may not be clear, but the worn teeth of the pawls are still visible.
I was upset, of course. I decided - the key worked. You'll have to write off your pet and buy a replacement. I went to the market. And, to my surprise, the seller, after listening to the sad story of how I lost my faithful assistant, offered me not a new key, but a kit for repairing the old ratchet key. Oh how! In photos 2 and 3 you can see a branded package with a repair kit and a set of parts that are included in it. This repair kit fits TOPTUL ratchet wrenches with numbers CHAG0813 and CJBG0815 (the head square on these wrenches is 1/4).
After purchasing the repair kit, all that remains is to install it. There is nothing difficult in this activity. But, I still decided to make a small photo report on the repair of the ratchet wrench . I hope you find it interesting. And if something similar happens to your ratchet, you can easily and quickly repair the key with your own hands .
For work you will need: screwdrivers or heads for Torx slots T7 and T8 (photo 4). And tweezers (it will be difficult to handle small springs with just your fingers, I personally checked this
