Whip (instrument)
The whip or slapstick is a percussion instrument consisting of two wooden boards joined by a hinge at one end. Typical dimensions of each board are 40cm long and 15cm wide. When the boards are brought together rapidly, the sound is reminiscent of the crack of a whip. Their use to produce sound effects in Commedia dell'arte comedy routines gave rise to the term slapstick comedy.
