Meinl Percussion Caxixi, Small Size-NOT Made in China-Rattan with Coconut Bottom, 2-Year Warranty (CAX1)

• HAND-WOVEN: this caxixi (also called a basket shaker) is hand-woven with all natural rattan
• WHY IT MATTERS: this material provides a soft sound texture with a mellow, earthy timbre; plus, it has a unique look, and each one will be slightly different due to the hand made design
• LOOKING UNDERNEATH: on bottom is a natural dried coconut shell cap; use this area to play accent notes to mix up your shaker patterns
• WHERE TO USE: drum set, percussion, live or studio work; also great for drum circles, shaman healing journeys, meditation, sound baths, yoga, musical gatherings, or for achieving relaxing trance states
• OF NOTE: the handle is designed for structure and appearance, but it may be used for some playing motions (like straight up and down); it's important to know this handle is not made for regular use as a grip
• BY THE NUMBERS: 6 1/2" H x 3" W (small size); there are three sizes (small, medium, large)—pitch gets lower as you go up in size
• THE TAKEAWAY: the Meinl caxixi provides a soft, earthy shaker effect for shaping rhythms for music and also works as a tool for sound healing practitioners
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
