Size Help

If the Ipu Heke is for a child, or for use with 'Auana (modern) hulas, our biggest sellers are the small sizes 12" to 15" tall. If the Ipu Heke is a teen or adult Ho'opa'a (chanter), use a yardstick to measure the distance from the floor to the mid-chest area while in playing position (either kneeling or sitting). That measurement will be the maximum recommended height, but a few inches shorter will also work well.

Extra savings with our Discount/Ugly Ipus. Often an Ipu Heke will not sit flat.  If this characteristic is important to you, or if you will be using your drum as stage decoration, please let us know. Each Ipu Heke comes with a single strand macrame cord and your choice of either unfinished or light gloss finish. (Most of our customers choose the light gloss finish.) If you would like a high gloss finish, please add $5.00. If you'd like an Ipu Heke with extraordinary natural color markings, please add $15.00. Gourd Seeds! $4.00 per packet of 20 seeds, includes postage. Choose from:  1. Mixed, 2. Ipu, 3. Heke (= top gourd), or 4. 'Olo (= bottom gourd) All seeds come from premium gourds, but they are hybrids, so resulting shape is not guaranteed.  Packet includes planting and growing information.
