About this item

  • TRADITIONAL STYLE: the gourd-shaped body and beaded net are modeled after traditional cabasa rattles; it has a strong similarity to the African shekere
  • WHY IT MATTERS: it produces an authentic and filling rattle effect that's used in African and Latin American dance music; plus, it's traditional design looks great on stage or on display in your studio
  • HOW IT WORKS: rub, shake, spin, and tap the beaded net, or spin the body under the net to get different sounds; the net is adjustable for a tight or loose response with its drawstring toggle
  • ONE BIG THING: this cabasa is 100% weatherproof to stand up to the elements outside as well as heavy touring; it's made with a premium fiberglass body, durable synthetic beads, and a strong braided nylon net
  • OF NOTE: the fiberglass build has outstanding projection and picks up where natural hollow gourds leave off in volume; get crisp, raspy percussive notes that fill the space
  • BY THE NUMBERS: measures 9 1/2" L x 7" W and weighs about 1 lb
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a professional, versatile, and traditional sounding cabasa that works in any venue or studio; it's easy to get a great sound and is a fantastic addition to your percussion collection
  • 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


The traditional Cabasa is a shaker originally made from a hollow gourd covered with a beaded net, or strung with small shells. Today it is one of the most popular hand percussion instruments ever created, and is considered an essential in the percussionist’s toolbag.

このサイズ、質感、重さは扱いやすくていいというのが最初に届いた時の印象でした。まずはシェイカーやマラカスのように振ったりしてみてまさにと実感しました。本体の溝が音を増幅してくれてるのもわかりました。楽しい。 ただ、モダンなタイプのカバサ(金属製のビーズが巻いてあるもの)のように回転させて音を出すのは無理のようです。(やり方次第ではできるかもしれないですが。またはそもそもそういった鳴らし方はしないのかな⁇) しかしネットの調節で音色を変化させたりすることも合わせて楽しみかたは広がりそうです。個性的なルックスも手伝って存在感が出せる楽器だと思います。
