African Select Hardwood Claves Musical Instrument Sticks, Hollow Body — NOT MADE IN CHINA — For Live, Studio and Classrooms, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

• 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
