Detail 01
Solid wood pair
Sound comes from one stick striking the other, so the tone is short, dry and cutting rather than ringing.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Basic hardwood claves for hand percussion. A cheap way to add a sharp wood click to a groove, a classroom kit, or a practice setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding clave patterns to Latin or Afro-Cuban grooves
- Classroom and group percussion where gear gets shared
- A first pair for a drummer building a percussion box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the deep resonance of hollow-body claves
- Loud stage use without a microphone
- Anyone needing a specific pitch matched to other percussion
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
No thick lacquer damping the wood; grip is bare and can feel slick until hands warm them up.
Detail 03
Sold as a pair
Both sticks are the set. One is struck, the other is cupped in the hand to act as the resonator.
Detail 04
$13.95
Entry-level pricing. Expect consistent function, not the hand-selected pitch matching of higher-end pairs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No case or bag; toss them in a stick bag to avoid dings
- 02Technique matters — cup your hand loosely or they sound dead
- 03Cracks can develop if stored somewhere very dry or very humid
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you hold claves so they actually ring?
Rest the lower clave loosely across a cupped palm, not gripped tight. Your hand becomes the resonating chamber. Strike its center with the other clave.
02Do they come as one or two sticks?
Two. A pair is the instrument — one struck against the other.
03Are these loud enough to play with a drum kit?
In a room, yes for practice. Against a full kit or amplified band, you will want a microphone.
04What's the difference between these and the hollow-body version?
These are solid, giving a short dry click. Hollow-body claves have a chamber that adds volume and sustain, at higher cost.
