About this item

• Octagonal aluminum shell — the flat, angled aluminum surfaces deliver a great mid to high range tone with a highly articulate touch — this large shaker produces a bright sound that can easily cut through a mix in any setting, live or in the studio
• Made to cut — the octagonal shape shell produces more definition than traditional round shape shakers due to the sharp, angular corners the internal filling strikes against — the resulting sound sings with a clear, high pitch
• For percussionists and drummers — this shaker can shape virtually any piece of music, whether you are a percussionist or drummer — its response is highly sensitive to your hand movements so your delivery will always come through with fluidity and clarity
• Large size — this Meinl Aluminum Octagonal Shaker measures 12″ long x 2″ wide, creating a large enough chamber space for the filling inside to move around freely while being easy to control for accented rhythms
• The lowest pitch of our three Aluminum Octagonal Shakers — this large length model has the lowest pitch of the three different sized Aluminum Octagonal Shakers available in the Meinl selection
• Designed in Germany — Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business that was established in Germany in 1951 — our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you’re delivered the absolute finest quality
