The Meinl guiro shaker Comes with a filling inside to produce a cutting shaker effect. Use the guiro as a shaker or scrape on the side of the metal body for classic guiro sounds.

• NO "CHEESE GRATER" EFFECT: that's a term used for non-professional sounding guiras that don't have musical tone; this merengue guira gives you that authentic sound with balanced frequencies and full volume
• WHY IT MATTERS: you'll be able to mesh right away with other players so you can set the pace and get into the music; avoid shrill or dull tones that distract you and your listeners
• ONE BIG THING: inside the body is shaker filling so you can incorporate shaker effects into your playing; the body is completely sealed, and you can shake it however you want
• DRIVING THE SOUND: made from 100% high-quality brushed steel; the raised bumps are sized to easily get a full scratching effect while gliding across them with the scraper
• INCLUDES SCRAPER: durable steel rods are firmly secured in the grip, and they're spaced out to deliver a rich sound with depth and volume; the rods are made to last so you won't have to replace later
• BY THE NUMBERS: measures 11 1/2" long x 3" wide and includes scraper; larger sizes have lower pitch, small sizes have higher pitch
• THE BOTTOM LINE: its authentic sound fits traditional Dominican dance music styles like Bachata and Merengue, or you can play it with modern pop music; it's easy to get a full sound, and it's built to last
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
