Product Features

• OUR MOST RELAXED GRIP: the octagonal shape lets you hold the shaker with a much looser grip than large round shakers; the shaker will naturally rest in your fingertips without you needing to squeeze tight
• WHY IT MATTERS: putting pressure on shakers alters their tone and volumethis can happen more with large round shakers to avoid slippage; now you can determine your sound by changing the pressure because you want toinstead of having to
• DRIVING THE SOUND: an aluminum body produces crisp middle to high range tone with articulate response from the straight edges; fine shaped internal filling delivers a nice spread of sound without being too harsh or too sloshy
• ONE BIG THING: two pairs of steel jingles add a bright tambourine layer to the sound; you can control the amount of jingle response by changing the direction you shake
• OF NOTE: its aluminum build cuts down weight but is also very durable, so it's lightweight but will stand up to heavy touring, energetic live shows, or whatever you need it for
• SIZE: 7 1/2" L x 2" W (medium size); there are three sizes available (small, medium, large); pitch gets lower as you go up in size
• THE TAKEAWAY: great handling, variety of response, and durability make this a highly versatile instrument in a small package
• 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
