Percussion Plus Honestly Made large coco shaker

Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made large coco shaker

The Percussion Plus Honestly Made coco shaker is made from a large calabash, which is a gourd that grows from the calabash trees in Ghana. The gourd is dried out and hollowed, then it’s filled with small beads, which bounce around inside of the shaker, creating that famous rattling sound.

Each instrument is hand made using traditional materials and methods. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of instruments from Percussion Plus.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.
