Latin Percussion

"The LP Afuche®/Cabasa, Martin Cohen's second patented invention, was developed over forty years ago. It has since become the most popular hand percussion instrument ever created!
The Afuche Cabasa is designed to create rhythmic scraping sounds and patterns. Beads can be rotated around the textured steel or the instrument can be spun or shaken for varying sounds. Larger models produce louder, fuller sounds while the smaller models provide more control and softer volumes."-from the Latin Percussion website

• The LP 234A is constructed using 9 bands of interconnected steel balls around a textured tin cylinder, that when spun produces a loud scraping shaker sound.
• It can be muted and manually played by the non spinning hand, tapped or spun for creative percussion effects.
• It has a comfortable wooden handle with a balanced feel, and can be used in a variety of Latin and or Dance music styles.
