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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
