Meinl Percussion Aluminum Shaker Octagonal - Medium - Octagonal Shape - Musical Instrument - Aluminum, Black (SH88BK)

Sounds really good

Great - not massively loud but good enough for professional use. Would prefer very slightly bigger shot inside maybe. Good value, easy to grip and robust

Easy to play & light to use. Like the sound it produces & will have lots of fun with it.

Arrived fast, gift for my Dad, he's a musician and is really pleased. It's just what he wanted. Professionally approved!

saw a friend using one of these very happy with it & good size & shape recomend this item people!

Terrible build quality. No idea how it is meant to sound as an end flew off on the first shake scattering the little bead things everywhere. I was on tour and this happened on the first show. Missed the return window so an absolute waste of money! Less than 1 star!

A great present for Xmas, good value and prompt delivery. Thanks

Bottom fell off, Beads fell out within 10 seconds of use

Sehr gute Ware jederzeit weiter zu empfehlen

I end up grabbing this shaker more than any other one I have. The octagonal shape at first didn't thrill me, but it turns out to be really helpful and comfortable to hold. With the larger-diameter round shakers, I use just that little extra bit of fingertip pressure to hold on, and I notice I don't feel that as much using this one. That's important too, because with a metal shaker I can get some great tonal variation by wrapping my hand around the body and open/closing my fingers to dampen the tone. Easy to do when the shaker is easy to grip... Those 8 minute songs got a lot easier. Another thing I like is that the beads inside seem to be pretty small (fine size). The tone is tighter sounding, and the smaller barrel size can give it some crisp movement with minimal rasp from bead backsplash. You can easily get a bit of a sloppy shaker sound, too. I've found that I can hold this vertically (like a hammer handle), and wrap my fingers around all the way, then flick the top forward to get a nice splash of beads against the side/plastic top. Another nice variation that's hard to control with my big blue Live shaker, or the small black plastic one. Overall, it fits nicely between the egg shaker and blue metal, as far as versatility. I still love the natural shaker sound, but this has me convinced I may not need to go back...

Un instrumento de percusión versátil, no pesa nada y suena muy bien

Sonido medio, suficiente para presentaciones en vivo

L’impugnatura di questa percussione è davvero fantastica! Maggior controllo del suono anche per i meno esperti, anche per i cantanti come me che di solito fanno pasticci con le percussioni! Consigliato!!
