Trivia: What instrument is made using cactus spines?
Rainsticks
Harps
Didgeridoos
Maracas
The correct answer is Rainsticks
So why is this answer correct? : While the origins of rainsticks are a bit of a mystery, anthropologists believe the instrument originated from a South American tribe known as the Diaguita, who lived in the deserts of northern Chile. Traditional rainsticks are made from tubes of dead cacti with cactus spines punctured throughout. Once filled with pebbles, rainsticks create their well-known mimicry of a gentle downpour.
