Description
- Low pitch with clear attack — sold in pairs, the Meinl Percussion African Hardwood Claves deliver a deep wood tone with low fundamental pitch typically heard in African rhythms and dance music — these claves cut through the mix with a rich wood tone
- Hollow hardwood — a hollow resonating body made with select hardwood develops the lowest pitch of all Meinl clave styles, and the sound has extra resonance from the hollow build — sound ports are located on one side with a port on the end as well
- Versatile sound — great to use for traditional Latin American music, rock, pop, concert band and even orchestral music (live or in the studio) — these claves also work great in larger ensemble settings like classroom band and drum circles
- African style — the large body measures 12" L x 1 3/4" W and the striker measures 10" L x 3/4" W to produce a low pitch — the body has a smooth notch where the sound ports are located for more resonance and volume (this notch faces down into your palm)
- Specially weighted for outstanding attack — the large body weighs 9 ounces and the small striker weighs 3 ounces — this noticeable weight difference helps deliver a solid "knock" sound when you strike them together that's crystal-clear and full of depth
- Perfect for studio percussion collections — studio owners will find it handy to have these African style claves as part of a collection of percussion instruments to always have ready when the moment calls for it during recording
- Dark stained finish — features a stained finish that darkens the natural wood grain
- Manufacturer disclaimer — typographical or grammatical errors found in the bullet point or description text on this product page are a result of this site’s system and are neither the fault of the manufacturer nor marketplace sellers
African Claves are slightly larger and have a lower fundamental pitch. Additionally, the resonating body is larger than the striker. Available in two different versions: Solid and hollowed out body.
