These natural wooden egg shakers are a larger version of our painted mahogany eggs, decorated instead with beautiful hand-burnt designs created by Balinese primary school children. Known as the “giant” egg shaker, their bigger size gives them a deeper and more resonant tone, making them ideal for both group music-making and solo use.
The giant egg shakers are loved by all ages, but especially by younger children who are drawn to their size and natural finish. Whether in the classroom, at home, or in a music group, they add a lively rhythmic element that is simple to pick up and enjoy.
Egg shakers might look simple, but they can produce a surprising variety of sounds. Shake from end to end for one tone, side to side for another. Hold lightly at the fingertips for a loud, crisp sound, or firmly in the palm for a softer, more subtle tone. For extra fun, try knocking two shakers together to create a percussive “clop” that changes depending on how you cup your hands.
