Meinl Percussion Turbo Cabasa with Sound Ports and Stainless Steel Cylinder (PCA5BK-XS)

The Meinl Turbo Cabanas are a game-changer, boasting significantly more volume compared to conventional cabanas. This enhanced volume is attributed to the sound ports integrated within the resonating chamber. The Turbo Cabanas elevate the classic cabasa sound to a new level, empowering you to cut through any sonic environment.

PATENTED SOUND PORT DESIGN: Circular sound ports strategically positioned in the body of the cabasa provide you with increased volume, projection, and an exceptionally crisp tone, making it ideal for both live performances and studio recordings.

WHY IT MATTERS: Requiring less effort to be heard, the Turbo Cabanas allow you to play in a more relaxed state while seamlessly locking in with the groove. Moreover, the sound carries effortlessly, enabling you to cut through the mix even when not miked up.

HOW IT WORKS: Rub, shake, spin, or tap the stainless steel beaded chain with your hand to access a diverse array of sounds. Behind the chain lies a stainless steel ribbed cylinder that produces the classic raspy cabasa effect.

OF NOTE: The chains are neither too loose nor too tight, allowing the beads to move with ease. This fluid motion enhances your expressiveness and accuracy, as you no longer have to contend with excessive friction.

ZOOM IN: The handle and body (or chamber) are crafted from 100% synthetic all-weather material, ensuring exceptional durability, lightweight construction, and long-lasting performance.

BY THE NUMBERS: This extra-small size version measures 5 3/4" L x 2 3/4" W and weighs a mere 0.4 lbs. As the size decreases, the pitch gets higher, while larger sizes produce a lower pitch.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The Turbo Cabanas are a professional-grade, versatile, and highly controllable cabasa that excel in any venue or studio setting. It's a fantastic addition to any percussionist's collection, delivering a fantastic sound with ease.

THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl, a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, has a legacy of crafting exceptional products. Their expert German designers work closely with skilled builders to ensure the absolute finest quality in every instrument they produce.
