Having seen a clip of this, I felt as though there were one or more instruments being played offscreen. Nope; there are beans or pellets inside the balls which produce the faster rhythms, and hitting the balls together produces the loud clacks.
Clearly the instrument for people who possess the rhythmic chops of a polyrhythm drummer and the manual dexterity of a nunchaku master.
2. Here is a map of Finland's bear population, rendered in adorable cartoon bears. (direct image link)
I want to invite everyone to join me in appreciating that the last color on the legend represents 6.1 - ∞ bears per thousand square kilometers.
I choose to take this as evidence that there are portions of eastern Finland with infinite bears.
