Latin Percussion LP234A Standard Afuche Cabasa

Great instrument with fine quality sound. I love it and so will you

Great fun for people who like music

I am pleased with the quality and sound of this cabasa. I decided to buy one after hearing and trying one out at a jam session. I'm not a professional percussionist but enjoy playing a cajon and other percussion instruments to help set a beat during sessions.This instrument was within my price range and after a little research I bought it based on reviews. It adds variety to my sessions. There is a slight learning curve and a little practice to achieve a consistent smooth sound but within a few days I got the hang of simple repetitive sounds. The cabasa I tried at the jam session was slightly larger, 40 years old, did produce a better sound, but cost the owner way more than the current $29 price of this one. I think this one could be better with looser bead strings but there is no easy way to adjust them. I think with looser beads it would be easier to accomplish certain movements to produce different sounds. I know the beads won't loosen with age and use but maybe as I get used to playing it I can become better at replicating the moves I saw on YouTube instructional videos.I still believe it to be worth 5 stars as the quality and sound work for the purpose I bought it for. If I was a professional and using this in recordings or stage performances I would probably spend a lot more and try out various instruments before purchasing. If this is your first introduction to this type of instrument, as it was for me, I don't think you'll be disappointed choosing this one.

I expect LP to made well& stand up to the bumps and bruises of professional play, with smooth movement. It appears to be more expensive than others that are available, but my old one lasted for many years( it was taken)so I assume this one will be worth the expense

I like this percussion instrument a lot. Well made and easy and fun to play. I used it for a recording session with my jazz band last weekend and it added a nice flavor to the mix.

Well made!

Exactly what I wanted at a good price

My daughter is on the autism spectrum and no matter what is going on or if there is any noice she doesn’t like if she plays with this it always calms her down
