Detail 01
Small size
Smaller blocks pitch higher and cut through more easily, but give up the low body of a large block.

MEINLWood Block Black Small
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A small black wood block from MEINL's budget percussion line. Sharp, cutting click for classroom rhythm work, latin percussion setups and light studio use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Teachers running classroom rhythm exercises
- Percussionists adding a dry click to a setup
- Home recording where a sharp accent is needed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a deep, low woodblock voice
- Anyone needing volume without a hard mallet
- Setups requiring included mounting hardware
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
Wood construction
Wood gives a dry, woody click with fast decay, unlike the ringing sustain of a plastic or metal block.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic only. The finish does not change the sound compared to a natural block of the same size.
Detail 04
Under $25
Entry-level pricing. Fine as a first block or a spare, rather than a career instrument.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No beater or mallet included — you supply the stick
- 02No mount included; it is played handheld or set on a surface
- 03Small size means high pitch; buy larger for a deeper click
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a mallet?
No. You will need your own stick or mallet. A drumstick or a hard plastic mallet both work.
02Can I mount it on a stand?
No mounting hardware is included with this block.
03How is a small block different from a large one?
Small blocks sound higher and more cutting with a shorter decay. Large blocks give a lower, fuller click.
04Is the black finish just cosmetic?
Yes. The finish is a look, not a tonal change. A same-size natural block sounds the same.
