Developed in UK by a professional percussionist & experienced Kashaka player (see videos) - Kashaka UK make genuine professional quality Kashaka Pro instruments - these are high quality strong playable instruments which will not break when played. Great for use as regular shakers too, with crisp sound & precise playability, suitable for performance, recording, workshops etc. The plastic used has shock absorbing qualities, which softens the sound, making it closer to natural gourd sound, unlike the hard ABS plastic versions, which have a harsh, unpleasant clack noise and can hurt the ears if played for long. The shock absorpsion also means that Kashaka Pro won't break if dropped. ABS plastic is hard and brittle & can crack when playing or if dropped.
Kashaka UK are driven by the love of rhythm & Kashakas, not just by money & profit. Every Kashaka is carefully crafted by hand in UK to bring you the best Kashaka experience. By buying Kashaka UK products you are supporting an independent artist & musician.
Size: 45mm spherical balls suitable for most hand sizes & ideal for beginners. (larger 50mm & smaller 38mm also available - see other items for sale).
Rope: The multi plaited rope is comfortable in the hand and is very strong. Heat sealed ends to prevent fraying. Adjustable for all hand sizes. Properly adjustable = knot on the outside of each ball to adjust quickly & easily. The rope guides protect the rope from snagging, reducing wear and friction and ensuring that the balls can turn freely on the rope - a huge benefit when playing advanced Kashaka techniques.
Colour: Clear / Cloudy / Translucent. You can see the filling move around inside the balls when playing. Over time & with a lot of use, a slight silver discolouration can occur inside the balls caused by the metal bead filling. This does not affect the sound or playing of the Kashaka in any way.
Supplied with natural cotton Kashaka pouch.
