Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of oversized claves that project louder and lower than standard sticks. For percussionists who need clave cutting through a full band.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Latin and salsa players needing clave audible over horns
- Live percussion rigs where standard claves get buried
- Teaching settings where the pattern must carry across a room
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the tight, dry crack of traditional small claves
- Studio work needing a subtle, low-volume clave sound
- Anyone with small hands who finds thick sticks awkward
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
Sold as a pair
One clave rests cupped in the hand as a resonator while the other strikes it, so both must be present.
Detail 03
White finish
Visible in dark stage conditions, useful when handing off percussion between players mid-set.
Detail 04
Under $40
Budget pricing for a piece with no moving parts, so cost tracks material rather than complexity.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How are these different from regular claves?
They are larger. The extra mass drops the pitch and pushes more volume, so they cut through a loud band where standard claves disappear.
02Do I need both sticks?
Yes. One is cradled loosely in your cupped hand so it can ring; the other strikes it. Holding either one tightly kills the tone.
03Are these good for beginners?
Yes. Claves need no setup or tuning. The only skill is the hand cup that lets the resonating clave ring freely.
04Will they get louder if I hit them harder?
Up to a point. Beyond that you get more attack noise than tone, and repeated hard strikes will dent the striking clave.
