Meinl Percussion Series Luis Conte Artist Shaker Musical Instrument

Designed in collaboration with renowned percussionist and Meinl Percussion artist, Luis Conte, this shaker boasts a sound as smooth as silk, according to the artist himself. The medium volume version offers ultra-smooth percussive colors that seamlessly blend while still cutting through the mix, responding beautifully at any volume level. Whether used in the studio or on stage, this versatile and musical shaker is a valuable addition for any drummer or percussionist.

The four individual chambers connected within the shaker provide a predictable, silky-smooth response, making it easier to control than a single large open chamber. This design ensures consistent rhythm, regardless of the user's skill level, as there is less space for the filling to travel, resulting in an instant, lag-free response.

Designed by the mega-successful percussionist and Meinl artist, Luis Conte, this shaker boasts an impressive list of recording and performance credits, including work with renowned artists such as James Taylor, Santana, Phil Collins, Ray Charles, Jackson Browne, Shakira, and Madonna.

The medium volume version strikes the perfect balance, being not too loud but still carrying a pleasant sound, making it the most versatile of the three Luis Conte shakers (Soft: great for studio, Medium: suitable for almost any situation, Loud: best for high-volume live performances).

Crafted with 100% all-weather synthetic material, this shaker produces a crisp tone while remaining durable. The lightweight material contributes to a clear timbre, ensuring the shaker performs reliably in any environment.

Measuring 6 7/8" long by 3 1/8" wide, this shaker's volume ranges around 79-81 decibels, making it a little softer than the strum of an acoustic guitar. Its versatility allows it to be played in a variety of settings, from acoustic shows and studios to praise bands and campsite sing-alongs, regardless of the user's skill level.

As a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, Meinl has a reputation for quality, and their expert German designers work closely with builders to ensure the finest craftsmanship for their customers.
