Detail 01
Plastic shell
Brighter and sharper than wood, and it shrugs off drops. Little tonal warmth to work with.

NinoPlastic Egg Maracas
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of small plastic egg shakers at pocket-money price. For classrooms, kids, and drummers who want a quiet hand percussion option in the gig bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Music classrooms where instruments get dropped and shared daily
- Toddlers and young kids learning to keep a beat
- Adding a light shaker layer to acoustic songs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Percussionists needing volume to sit in a loud band
- Anyone wanting the warmer, softer voice of wood or metal shakers
- Studio work where a fuller, more controllable shaker sound matters
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
Egg shape
Fits inside a closed hand, so you shake from the wrist. No handle to swing from.
Detail 03
Maracas, sold as a pair
One per hand lets you play alternating patterns instead of a single-hand shake.
Detail 04
Small body
Low volume. It layers under acoustic guitar and voice but won't cut through a drum kit.
Detail 05
$8.99
Cheap enough to buy several for a group, and no loss if one goes missing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Egg shakers are quiet — don't expect them to carry an unamplified room
- 02Sound varies slightly between individual eggs; that's normal at this build
- 03No case or pouch, so they rattle loose in a bag
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many do I get?
A pair — two eggs, one for each hand.
02Are these OK for young children?
Yes. They're plastic, small enough for little hands, and cheap enough that damage doesn't matter. Supervise very young kids, since they're a mouth-sized object.
03Can I use these for recording?
For a light background shaker layer, yes. Plastic reads bright and thin on a mic, so a wood or metal shaker gives you more body.
04How loud are they?
Quiet. Fine over acoustic guitar or in a classroom, not enough to be heard next to a drum kit without a microphone.
