Detail 01
Beaded net over the body
The beads strike the outside, so tone comes from the shell surface rather than seeds rattling inside.

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
Pro model
Sized and built for full two-handed technique rather than casual shaking.
Detail 03
Shekere design
You can shake it, slap the bottom for a bass note, and twist the net for accents. More than one sound.
Detail 04
Multi-coloured beads
Cosmetic. Bead material and tension affect the attack more than colour does.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The net can loosen over time and may need re-tensioning
- 02Loud by nature, so it needs space in a mix
- 03Two-handed technique takes practice to get clean patterns
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you play a shekere?
Hold it by the neck and net. Shake it for the pulse, slap the base for a bass tone, and pull the net for accents.
02Is this louder than a regular shaker?
Yes. Beads striking the outer shell project far more than seeds inside an egg or tube shaker.
03Can I mount it on a stand?
No. A shekere is a hand instrument and needs both hands to play its full range of sounds.
04What music is it used in?
Afro-Cuban, West African and Latin percussion, plus any groove that wants a dry, woody shaker layer with more attack.
