Meinl Percussion MSM2 Natural Rawhide Maracas

Meinl Percussion MSM2 Natural Rawhide Maracas

• AUTHENTIC SOUND AND LOOK: these maracas are made with rawhide bulbs to produce expressive sound with mellow, earthy tone; each bulb is hand-tied with durable threading
• WHY IT MATTERS: rawhide maracas occupy the space where synthetic maracas might be too loud or too cutting; get a more complex sound that blends well with acoustic salsa bands, recordings, or smaller drum circles
• ZOOM IN: solid wood handles are curved to fit comfortably in your hands; these handles also provide balance to play precise rhythms and have a great looking natural finish
• ONE TAKEAWAY: these are NOT toys; they're adult-sized, real professional maracas for musicians and hobbyists wanting a nice crisp sound for their music
• WHAT WE'RE HEARING: the attack notes are well-defined and dynamics are easy to control
• BY THE NUMBERS: 7 1/2" long x 2 1/4" wide; sold pairs
• THE BOTTOM LINE: their rich, complex sound has a mellow tone with lower volume than synthetic maracas; plus, the rawhide bulbs are hand made
• 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
