Latin Percussion LP234A Afuche/Cabasa Standard
A close friend of mine purchased this for my birthday.
I never knew Amazon had so many different instruments here. When she gave this baby to me I was so happy! the sound is cool and it isn’t dramatized like some of those shakers out there which make you sound as though your playing some baby rattle. No this is cool percussion and the sound is perfect. I’m so thrilled she got this for me.

I think this is the best cabasa available. Having looked at several brands, LP’s quality is the best. The wood is cut and finished just so, the chain is exactly the right tension, and the metal surface has just the right texture. The result is a responsive tool that will last and gives a good sound reliably. I like the standard size the best for balance and both weight and sound.
If you’ve looked at some of the plastic versions on the market, stay away! They just don’t have the right sound. That’s not an aversion to plastic generally, either, as I have a plastic guiro that I like a lot.
Very pleasant and playable.
