Toca Hand Painted Maracas are handmade from select hardwood and filled with premium beads for an optimum dry timbre. No two maracas are exactly alike in appearance or in tone. These maracas emit a well-balanced sound, making them delightful shakers that are neither obtrusive nor too muted for workaday musical settings. The wooden "gourd" is the perfect size for live shows or studio recordings.Handmade and painted Select hardwood shell Filled with premium beads No two are exactly alike Perfect size for live work or studio recording
