Detail 01
Ridged body
Long scrapes across the ridges give the sustained rasp; short scrapes give the accent. Rhythm comes entirely from your stroke length.

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hand-held design
You grip it with one hand and scrape with the other, so it competes with anything else you'd hold on a percussion rig.
Detail 03
Included scraper
Comes with the stick it's voiced for. Substituting a different scraper changes the attack and brightness.
Detail 04
Under $30
Priced as a section instrument rather than a feature piece, so it's an easy add to an existing kit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand or mount — it's played hand-held
- 02Keep the scraper with the instrument; a mismatched stick changes the sound
- 03Mic it or place it close for recording; it's quiet in a mix
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with the scraper stick?
Yes. The scraper is included and matched to the instrument's ridges.
02How do you play a guiro?
Hold it in one hand and drag the scraper across the ridged surface. Long strokes give a sustained rasp, short strokes give sharp accents.
03Can I mount it on a stand?
It's designed to be hand-held. There's no mounting hardware, so you'd need a third-party holder.
04Is it loud enough for a live band?
It carries in acoustic and small-group settings. Against a loud amplified band, mic it.
