Rohema BEECH CLAVES SET

Rohema Percussion: A Percussion Tradition Since 1888

Rohema Percussion is a family business renowned for its expertise in the world of drumsticks and percussion, with a history dating back to 1888. These beechwood claves follow this tradition: a deliberately simple instrument, carefully crafted, prioritizing consistency, durability, and musicality. The choice of regional beech wood and the attention given to fair and ecological resource extraction reflect a responsible approach, consistent with the educational and collective use of this type of percussion.

An Ideal Instrument for Rhythmic Awakening, School, and Group Practice

Claves are often the first "real" percussion instrument placed in a child's hands: a natural gesture, an immediate sound response, and a wide variety of possible playing techniques. With this set, exploration begins with the very first strikes: marking a pulse, playing call-and-response patterns, alternating loud and soft, or accompanying a song. The short and precise sound (without trailing) helps understand the exact placement of a note in time.

These claves are also very suitable for teachers, nurseries, and musical awakening workshops: different pairs can be distributed according to age, hand size, or objective (coordination, articulation, dynamics). "Tapping, rolling, striking": the possibilities are numerous, and the approach remains free, playful, and progressive.

Three Diameters to Vary Touch and Sound Projection

This set of 3 pairs offers diameters of 18 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm. Without changing the simplicity of the concept, these variations directly influence the feel in the hand and how energy is transmitted through the wood. A thinner pair may favor maneuverability for small hands, while a larger diameter can provide a more stable grip and a stronger impact depending on the playing gesture.

A Thin Lacquer Finish Designed for Children

The lacquer is described as very thin and child-friendly. This provides a pleasant surface to the touch and easy daily cleaning, while preserving the natural character of the beech wood. In an educational context, this is important: the instrument is handled, placed down, picked up, sometimes exchanged, and must remain comfortable and safe to use.

A "Clean" Sound for Working on Rhythm

With their percussive sound and no reverberation, these claves are particularly effective for timing exercises: playing on a pulse, locking in simple rhythms, understanding basic note values, and developing group listening. The clarity of the attack also facilitates call-and-response games and concentration exercises (a short, clear, immediately identifiable signal).
