DRIVING THE SOUND: its 100% hollow hardwood body and solid wood scraper deliver classic guiro sounds with mellow wood tone; the body's tight ridge pattern adds clear projection to cut through
ZOOM IN: two grip holes on back make it easy to hold and maintain resonance while playing; use them with your fingers like a bowling ball grip
