    Hi Lorenz,

    Boa Bams is unfortunately the wrong word we used in our library. The correct word is BooBams (or Boobams), because the instrument is made of bamboo.
    I think you can find now a lot of information ...

    Try this link:

    but don't listen to the sample [[;)]]

    Greetings,

    hi lorenz,

    we'll feature the boobams in Instruments Online, but as there are so many percussion instruments waiting for us, this will take some time [:D]
    in the meantime you might want to try out these links for basic information and some fotos:

    If you want to hear boobams put into action in a quite unusual conext, then listen to what Bill Bruford did with them on the '81 and '82 King Crimson records Discipline and Beat.
