'Uli'uli : Feather gourd rattles
The 'uli'uli is a small gourd
(la'amia) containing seeds (ali'ipoe) and fitted with a handle
which ends in a flat circular top fringe of cock feathers. The
dancer traditionally holds one 'uli'uli in the right hand and
shakes it to produce the rattling sound. The left hand is free
to carry out the graceful interpretive motions of the hula. But
in modern times, dancers use one one 'uli'uli in each hand.

Pu'ili : Split bamboo rattle
The pu'ili is a split bamboo
rattle (pu - to sound, 'ili - bark or skin). A piece of bamboo
some 20 inches long and one and one-half to two inches in
diameter is split into narrow strips or strands except for a
section of about five inches at one end which serves as a
handle. Bamboo is cut away to leave spaces between the strands.
The player or dancer produces a rustling sound when he or she
taps the pu'ili against his, or his partner's shoulder or arm,
the floor mat, or another pu'ili.
