Meinl Traditional Maracas Hand Shaker Rattles with Natural Rawhide - Not Made in China

Authentic Sound and Look

These maracas are crafted with rawhide bulbs to produce expressive and mellow, earthy tones. Each bulb is expertly hand-tied with durable threading.

Why It Matters

Rawhide maracas offer a sound where synthetic maracas might be too loud or too harsh. They provide a more complex and harmonious sound that blends well with acoustic salsa bands, recordings, or smaller drum circles.

Design and Comfort

Solid wood handles are curved to fit comfortably in your hands. They also provide excellent balance for precise rhythm playing and feature a natural, eye-catching finish.

Professional and Adult-Grade

These maracas are not toys. They are designed for musicians and hobbyists who want high-quality, professional-grade instruments. Achieve a crisp sound that complements your music.

Expertly Crafted

The attack notes are well-defined, and dynamics are easy to control. These maracas are 11 inches long and 3 1/8 inches wide, sold in pairs.

Rich and Mellow Sound

The rich, complex sound of these maracas is mellow and has a lower volume compared to synthetic maracas. The rawhide bulbs are hand-made.
