Purple Gidgee Clapsticks – Handcrafted Aboriginal Clapsticks from Gidgee Wood

Purple Gidgee Clapsticks are truly unique, with a strong purple colour coming through the wood that makes each pair very special.

These clapsticks are made from the gidgee tree, known as one of the hardest timbers in the world. Its dense nature creates a very strong, sharp sound, giving these clapsticks a powerful presence. They are like nothing you have heard before, with each strike carrying strength, clarity and depth.

The natural purple tones running through the gidgee wood give these Aboriginal clapsticks their distinctive character. Each pair has its own colour variation and grain pattern, making every set one of a kind.

These Indigenous Australian clapsticks have been oiled with linseed oil to extend their life and bring those special colours to life, while also protecting the timber. The finish enhances both the visual beauty and durability of the wood.

Suitable for cultural practice, performance, education and collectors seeking authentic Aboriginal cultural instruments, these clapsticks carry strength, sound and Connection to Country through both material and craft.
