Detail 01
Claves (sold as a pair)
One rests in a cupped hand as the resonator, the other strikes it. Grip changes the tone more than the sticks do.

LPLP262 Claves
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of hardwood-style hand claves from LP at entry-level money. For a first percussion sound, a school kit, or a rhythm-section backup pair.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a dry wood click over a loop or track
- Beginner or classroom percussion where cost matters
- Second pair kept in the gig bag as a spare
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a low, dark clave pitch for studio work
- Anyone needing a tuned or matched-pitch specialty pair
- Setups needing mounted percussion — these are hand-held only
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
Natural finish
Uncoated look, so the surface stays grippy rather than slick under sweaty hands.
Detail 03
$24.99
Entry tier. Expect a usable cutting click, not the deep resonance of a premium rosewood pair.
Detail 04
LP brand
Standard hand-percussion sizing, so they sit comfortably alongside other LP percussion in a kit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No case, bag or mount is included — these are the sticks alone
- 02Cupped-hand technique matters; held flat they sound dead and thin
- 03Loud and cutting acoustically; you rarely need close-miking in a small room
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you actually play claves?
Cup one hand loosely and rest a clave across it so it can ring, then strike the middle of it with the second clave. The cupped hand is the resonator.
02Are these loud enough for a live band?
Yes acoustically in a small room. On a loud stage or in a recording you'll want a mic to place them in the mix.
03Is this pair good for a beginner?
Yes. Simple technique, low cost, and nothing to maintain or tune, which is why they land in classrooms and starter percussion kits.
04Can I mount these on a stand?
No. Claves are played hand-held, and half the sound comes from the cupped hand supporting them.
