Terre Guiroshaker Small

Der Shaker Sound ist super, der Guirosound relativ dumpf, mag vielleicht an der geschlossenen Bauform liegen.
Leider ist beim ersten (!) Gig die geklebte Seite aufgebrochen, so hatte ich dann viele Perlen und Kügelchen auf dem Riser und der restlichen Percussion. War natürlich super blöd, konnte ihn aber wieder zusammenkleben.

An dieser Stelle wieder ein riesiges Lob an Thomann: Ein Anruf und ich hab direkt nen neuen zugeschickt bekommen, ohne Probleme und innerhalb von 2 Tagen. Der ist lustigerweise wesentlich gröber geriffelt und locker 2 cm dünner. Aber wie gesagt, zu dem Preis ein wahnsinnig schöner, sanfter Shaker-Sound!

Amazing what you can get for a tenner in this day and age.

I bought this product for having more organic rythmic sound and effects for my productions. This and many likewise instruments can make your music a bit more interesting in the space in which it rests.

Now it is bigger than I thought, and that is a good thing. It is about 40cm long and 9-10cm thick.

As a shaker it has darker thicker rustle than your avarage shaker, I can see myself using both this and an other lighter sounding shaker at the same time.

The Güiro part is allright. It does not sound as crisp and clear as a dedicated well made one I would say, but it does a adequite job. But I would not champion this for the güiro part of it. Maybe with an other rod to drive over the ridges might enhance the sound a bit, so there is always that.

Overall I am very satisfied with the product for what I am about to use it for, which is added sound effects.
The sound should be described as 'muddled' but in a mostly good way, organic if you will.

Worth the buy!
