Clapsticks or music sticks are percussion instruments - a must in every aboriginal performance. By varying the position of percussion, the sound will vary in pitch and tone: from soft to loud, from heartbeat, clapping,...to a metallic clank and they do have the right "echo".
Emu callers are short, one foot, about 30 cm long didgeridoos. The emu callers were traditionally used when hunting emus, the ostrich-like, large Australian birds. When striking the emu-caller at one end with the open palm it sounds like an emu. This decoy attracts the bird out of the bush making it an easy pray. These emu-callers also make an unusual vase for dried flowers, or an interesting conversation piece for the office! They are very tastefully decorated by David Dunn
