One of the oldest instruments, maracas have been in use for over 1500 years. Typically made from a gourd or coconut, these are no different. Hand-painted, they will bring an authentic Latin percussive groove to any party or event. Simple to learn, fun to play, maracas are a great instrument for introducing music to children or as a way to include non-musicians in the musical process. Available in various colors. Made in Mexico. 8" long.
