In addition to artwork, premium Tall-Body gourds are also used as the bottom of an ipu heke, which is a percussion instrument often used in hula dancing.

Shown above, finished Ipu Heke by Black Pearl Designs.

An ipu heke is made from 2 gourds put together, and the bottom gourd is usually a premium quality tall-body gourd.

The bottom gourd must have a flat bottom and must be fairly symmetrical in shape. Because these gourds are so difficult to grow, they are priced higher than other gourds of the same diameter.

Please note: Because it is a lengthy process to match a top and a bottom gourd to make ipu heke, and it is also a specialized skill, we are unable to provide the staff to assist with this.

The best way to find a matching top is to come to the farm in Fallbrook, CA and select them yourself.

Letters from Our Customers

"Dear Welburn Gourd Farmers, I'm excited to receive the Formula 49, ink dyes, and jewelry gourds and look forward to getting started with them.
I've grown and decorated gourds over the years, and learned a lot from watching your videos. These products and videos will help step up my game.
Visiting your farm is on my To Do List. I have a strong yearning to set in a field and commune with the gourds. I imagine this would be a very spiritual and healing experience. When I first moved to Oregon an elderly neighbor gave me the gift of a moldy gourd, and told me it was up to me to find it's treasures. That was the beginning. Thanks for all your help and especially for farming gourds." -Saundra

***************************

"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the… Ink. I will be buying this product again😉" - W.J.Napioer

"Love the Formula 49... the fact that it will almost completely remove ink dye is a reason alone to call it a great product, not to mention how well it works to blend the inks. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!" -Gloria Crane, Gourd Artist and Instructor
