Meinl Percussion Motion Shaker Instrument - Shaker for the Finger - Plastic, Black (MS-BK)

Nice sounding shaker. I bought to use with Cajon but have discovered it is also brilliant when playing Ukulele

My bongo playing brother ( for whom this was bought for)thought this was a fabulous little device, I can see him using it a lot in the future.

Fun and easy way to make a nice sound

Really versatile in its own small way, the Cajon Add-On motion shaker is an interesting twist on one of the most basic of percussion instruments. Shakers are generally limited in what they do and how they do it, and are at their best when the musician is skilled enough to draw light and shade from their limited range of sounds. Meinl's use of a finger strap opens up the possibilities for the shaker to be part of something else, which can either be percussion-based - when you'd wear it as it is in the product image, above the fingers, guitar-based - when you'd also wear it this way and it would provide emphasis to a strumming hand, for example (needs discipline, I've tried it!) or even cupped in the hand while attached to the finger. During a "throw" (when you move a shaker away from your body) you have the option of opening your hand or keeping it shut, or somewhere in between such as holding it loosely around the edge. This creates subtly different sounds and potentially adds a lot to the sounds you can create and thus the rhythms you can help set up, when combined with different degrees of force and emphasis. It's obviously a little part of a far greater whole, but opens up some interesting options for nice, real, human, percussion. I use drum machines quite a lot and it is little touches added by these humble instruments that can help humanise the beats.

Its plastic and makes a decent sound, its not quiet!! Fits to the finger fine, no adjustment, if you have fat fingers, it may cut off the circulation after a while.

Nice idea , bought it for a friend of mine. Should be cheaper

Great little thing, used with a bodhran and adds a little bit of interest to playing

This is good but the egg shakers are much better sound

Je l'ai acheté pour jouer avec le cajon et il me va très bien. Son agréable et facile a transporter. on peut le mettre dans la poche ! je reccomande.

This little finger shaker is very comfortable to wear and the sound cuts through very well. I play in a 5-piece acoustic band and needed a shaker to play without putting down my melodica to pick it up. It also works well while playing the cajon. Meinl makes great percussion instruments and "doo dads".

Excelente calidad y sonido.

Trägt sich wunderbar am Finger und hat einen angenehmen Ton beim Rasseln

Su sonido es de shake tipo huevo, es fácil de colocar y es cómodo.
