Great price and a fun toy for my children
Anonymous  from Dallas, TX,  Jun 5, 2006

I love this shaker. I have been collecting world instruments as a way to introduce my small children to music,. They love them all and I am thrilled that overstock makes them available at such a wonderful price!!! If you like authentic products and want to support the developing countries this item is a great deal.

Received and opened eagerly. Was disappointed. The threads on the shaker were broken all over and loose beads all inside the bag... Returning...

  • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Poor

Loud and Proud . . .
 from Western NY,  May 27, 2011

This Little Shaker is Loud and Proud . . . it's light weight with a nice bright sound. Construction is OK (what you would expect from Ghana) and is a GREAT Price !! I Bought 4 . . .

Didn't get what I paid for
 from Amarillo, TX,  May 12, 2008

Poor construction and quality. Already falling apart after less than 5 minutes of playing. Should be used for decoration only. Not a playable instrument in my opinion. I expected an instrument and recieved a display. Live and learn I suppose.

Ghana Shaker
 from Bowie, MD,  Jan 10, 2008

This is a nice sized gourd, dried and hollow, with a net containing shells attached at the wide end of the gourd. You can shake the whole thing, or hold the gourd still and slide the net & shells around the surface to make a different sound.

Handcrafted Shaker Musical Instrument (Ghana)
 from Albuquerque New Mexico,  Jan 3, 2008

I saw this as a unique present to a friend of 30 years, easily found but very different¿ this as a great idea... he is a Native American and dances in Native American ceremonies in Oklahoma, there is always room for new musical instruments, especially from other parts of the world. He was pleased that I made an effort to find something special... Your world stock items provide that. Thank you!

Real instrument
 from Wisconsin,  Dec 21, 2007

This is the same shaker that I have bought elsewhere for about $5.00 more. I purchased 4 of them for my school music program, and each one is unique in shape, but they all sound good. They are well made, and have the standard tone quality I expect from a good shekere. The shapes and sizes differed from the 'norm' a bit more than usual, including very curved handles and flat spots on the netted section, but it didn't affect the sound quality to my ears.

Nice piece
 from NYC area,  Nov 3, 2007

I was on the island of Mayreau in the Grenadines and have been looking for an instrument a local man was playing. This is very similar and has a nice soft background sound. My son loves it!
