Is there such a thing as a device that makes a sound like a cricket chirping? I'm learning a new song, "Seeing Nellie Home," that seems to call for it.

You might look for the book , "The Very Quiet Cricket" by Eric Carle. It has a cricket sound in it that might work for you......KT

You could try one of those articles which I know as a Fish". A small sound box with a ribbed strip on one side, along which you lightly rub a stick or rod. Sounds kind of cricket-like with a moderate suspension of disbelief.

You could try here

Cricket Sound

(or try rubbing your legs together very quickly as you play it worked for me)

Thanks. The cricket thing from Kindermusik might work.

Nickb, if you get a cricket sound when you rub your legs together, I think you need to moisturize your dry skin before it's too late.

Reminds me of nights I used to go chasing corncrakes (don't ask!). We cut a sawtooth effect along a beef rib bone, then scraped another bone across it, cupping the hand to get the sound to match the birds call. Worked a treat!
