Natural Hand Percussion

This item has been designed to provide two instruments for the price of one. Firstly, the bamboo tube is filled with small stones to create an excellent shaker. Secondly, the bamboo has been hand carved into shallow ridges to make a great sounding guiro. The instrument is supplied with a scraper and has been decorated with a technique of burnt etching.

These bamboo guiro/shakers are hand made in Bali using fast growing bamboo, as a result they do not effect the level of hardwood forests making their production more environmentally friendly.

Fun colourful wrist bells!

The bells are secured to your wrist by a vibrantly coloured velcro strap and produce a joyful jingle sound when shaken, similar to the sound of sleigh bells.
