Idea: Wooden Finger Ring Percussion Things
Maybe this already exists, but I just imagined hollow, elliptical spheres which fit on the inside of your finger like a ring, held by an elastic band like a ring. The band would fit snugly in the groove of your finger, just above the knuckle. The wooden spheres on the insides of the fingers produce sound when struck by each other or mallets.
The musician could produce sound by sliding his hands across each other, making a washboard type sound, or just by clapping. Someone creative could probably figure out several other ways to make sound. I think it’d be exceptionally nice if the hollow spheres were sized differently to produce different pitches. They could potentially have a xylophone-like effect and could be used with mallets this way.
I’m already wishing I had a set of Wooden Finger Ring Percussion Things (I’m working on the name).
