This small guiro features deep parallel grooves and coloured closed ends. The grooves create a sensory feeling on the hands. This guiro also cleverly doubles up as a shaker, providing additional auditory input.
The traditional guiro is a Latin American percussion instrument consisting of an open-ended, hollow gourd with parallel notches cut in one side. It is played by rubbing a stick along the notches to produce a ratchet-like sound. Striking the tonal grooves of the guiro creates many unique sounds. Includes striker.
