Redwood
Softer and lighter than rosewood claves, so the click is a bit warmer and less piercing.

MEINLClassic Claves Redwood
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of redwood claves. Basic hand percussion for anyone who needs a sharp, cutting click — teachers, drum circles, small ensembles.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classroom and music-education settings needing a clear pulse
- Latin percussion parts requiring a dry, penetrating click
- Keeping time acoustically for a rehearsing group
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting adjustable pitch or tone — claves do one thing
- Drummers looking for a kit-mountable sound source
- Players needing to be heard over an amplified band unmiked
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
Claves only work in pairs — one is struck against the other. You're buying a complete instrument.
Detail 03
$12.95
Entry-level pricing. Fine for learning, classroom sets and casual playing; denser hardwood claves project more.
Detail 04
Natural finish
Unpainted wood. Nothing between the stick and the tone, and scuffs blend in rather than chipping off.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Hold one loosely cupped in your palm — gripping tight kills the tone
- 02No case, bag or mount included
- 03Wood can dent or split if dropped on a hard floor
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you actually play claves?
Rest one loosely across your cupped palm so it can resonate, and strike it with the other. Gripping both tightly produces a dull thud.
02Is redwood better than rosewood for claves?
Different, not better. Redwood is softer and lighter, giving a warmer click. Denser woods like rosewood are louder and sharper.
03Do I get one or two?
Two — claves are sold and played as a pair. One is the striker, the other the resonator.
04Will these be loud enough for a band?
Acoustically they cut well in a room and in unamplified settings. Against an amplified band you'll want a microphone.
