The Balls are made from a 50 % Hemp/plastic compound thus although there is a plastic content, it is reduced by half with the hemp combination therefore we have decided to stock them as it is a big step in the right direction to promote hemp and the durability (almost unbreakable) make these an alternative to traditional gourd ones which can break when played excessively ( We will be getting in traditional Thelevi soon). The compound material is extremely strong – even when playing excessively.

The Hemp Patica are filled with small, edgy and light stones making it easy to play without too much muscle effort. If necessary the filling can be changed quite easy. This way you can adjust the sound, weight and bouncing characteristics.

Playability

The velvet-like surface of the hemp compound gives these televi a good grip to easily catch them. The length of the cord (approx. 12 cm / 4.7″) can be adjusted. If you require a certain material for the string you can change it, too. The “elastic collision” characteristics are great, the balls bounce with the right dynamic that is necessary for a versatile play. The diameter of 5 cm (2″) suits most hand sizes.
