LP Latin Percussion LP861760 Standard Wood Afuche/Cabasa

Great Cabasa love it

Great sound and quality

As usual they came up trumps Keep an eye on tightening screw Needs to be really tight

Very Small and light..... suitable for people with small hands or children- good for acoustic sessions, as not particularly loud, due to size, 'Mini' is a good description!! .....can make a nice variety of tones and sounds..... ☺

Got to find some songs that I can use it on now!

It was a present to a musical director friend of mine. She uses it a lot as it is a great percussion instrument.

All good!

This was a present that was well received by a musician , which I’m not , so I don’t know much about it

Besoin d un modèle piccolo de Cabassa Parfait pour l utilisation. Elle est très petite et aigu. Mais modèle LP donc modèle pro

少し小振りだけど、ハンドルと胴体のバランスがいいです。音も乾き気味で心地よい。

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.
