Boomwhackers® Tuned Percussion Tubes / Chroma-Notes™ Instruments

Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes / Chroma-Notes Instruments are brightly colored plastic tubes that are tuned by length to musical notes. Each pitch is identified with a specific color based on the Chroma-Notes color scheme. Finale supports colored noteheads and its default colored noteheads settings are also based on the Chroma-Notes color scheme used with Boomwhackers percussion tubes and other instruments using the Chroma-Notes colors as they become available. Additionally, Finale includes options for starting a new Boomwhackers percussion tube / Chroma-Notes instruments score directly from the Setup Wizard.
