DESCRIPTION
The Nino Wood Guiro with Scraper brings a traditional Latin American percussion voice to your setup with an artisanal, handcrafted feel. Its hollowed-out body and ridged surface produce the rhythmic, rattling sound that defines salsa, rumba, son, and other Afro-Latin styles — just run the included wooden scraper across the ridges and the groove takes care of itself.
Built from responsibly sourced Siam oak that's been carefully cured and treated, the guiro has a dense, resonant character with plenty of sustain. The varied surface textures mean you get different sounds depending on where you strike or scrape, giving you more than one color to work with in a single instrument.
Its oblong shape is easy to hold and light enough for younger players, making it appropriate for children ages 5 and older as well as working percussionists. The natural wood look fits right in on a percussion rig, in a classroom, or in the recording studio, and the included scraper is made from the same durable, responsibly sourced wood for a consistent, authentic playing experience.
