The Diabolo has a history panning back around three thousand years and was given many names, such as "Kouen-gen", which means, "make the hollow bamboo stick whistle". In fact, in China Diabolos are still made out of bamboo with openings on the sides that create a whistling sound when spinning. The Diabolo was then brought to Europe by French and English expeditionary when it was given the name "Diabollo" a word that is thought to of come from Ancient Greek meaning throw across. Material: Plastic. Diameter: 4"3/4.
