Meinl Percussion Traditional Wood Claves Musical Instrument Sticks — NOT Made in China — for Live, Studio and Classrooms, 2-Year Warranty (CL4IW)

Made from dense Indian Walnut, these Meinl Percussion claves deliver a classic pitch and clear, piercing attack most commonly associated with African and Latin American rhythms. Their solid construction enables strong projection powerful enough to cut through dense mixes and large ensembles on stage, in the orchestra pit, or in a studio setting. Measuring 8” long and 1” in diameter, these claves will fit comfortably while still providing outstanding attack. An understated logo, attractive stain, and beautiful wood grain give these claves a clean, traditional look. Music educators and drum circle facilitators will especially appreciate their ease of use and affordability when outfitting a larger group. Use multiple pairs to help students or beginners develop a better sense of rhythm.

PUT THEM IN A SONG RIGHT AWAY: anyone can play these claves, regardless of skill; their bright wood tone cuts through music nicely when struck together without blaring “clack” sounds
WHY IT MATTERS: their naturally musical tone can instantly change the feel of your music, even if you’re not sure how to play them; add to songs live or in the studio
CATCH UP QUICK: one big reason our Traditional Claves are so popular is they have identical shape and weight, so there’s practically no learning curve; just hold them with a loose grip to let the wood resonate as you strike them together
DRIVING THE SOUND: made of solid Indian walnut with consistent grain and color to get a deeply resonant effect; our durable finish seals the wood while letting it respond fully
OF NOTE: Meinl Traditional Claves are multi-use; they can be played in traditional Cuban and Afro-Latin music, contemporary styles, drum circles, and they’re perfect in classrooms to teach students about rhythm
BY THE NUMBERS: sold in pairs, they measure 8″ long x 1″ wide and weigh about 3 ounces each; this size isn’t too big or too small to fit your needs in most settings
THE BOTTOM LINE: there’s no limit on where these claves will fit, and you just need a loose grip to get a great natural wood tone; they’re easy to jam with, and their smooth finish is designed to last
