Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Caxixi double straw shaker

The Caxixi (ka-shee-shee) double straw shaker from Percussion Plus is a light and tactile instrument producing a warm, percussive shaker tone. Also available as a single shaker, this double shaker is perfect for when you need a louder, fuller sound with great projection.

Made in Ghana, these instruments were once thought to summon enchanted spirits and scare away evil. They are commonly played alongside African drumming ensembles but are fun to play with any music group.

These caxixi or ‘basket shakers’ are all sourced responsibly using Fair trade principles. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of musical 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. Please note: colours and designs may vary. Items sold individually.



Natural materials, vibrant colours

Each shaker has been hand-crafted in Ghana using sustainably sourced materials and traditional methods. Straw is woven together to form the basket with a small disk attached at the bottom for extra projection. They also feature a range of vibrant multi-coloured finishes, very typical of these traditional instruments.



Make varied tones with one shaker

To play, hold horizontally using the handle and shake the beads against the straw basket. Adding accents is easy – just turn the basket and project the beads against the small disk at the bottom of the shaker. Vary the angle of the shaker for even more tones, from soft and gentle to hard and percussive.
