The Meinl Spark Shaker is a very versatile percussion instrument, and is unlike anything heard before. The sparkling, chirping, splashing tones readily mix with almost any musical flavor. The pod-like shape fits easily into the hand and may be manipulated for many interesting effects. Spark Shakers may be played in pairs, or in combination with other shakers for even more variations. It s as unique as the player who knows how to use it.
