The wasembe (wah-SEM-bay) rattle creates a very loud, high pitch, striking sound when the gourd slices clack together. Versions of this instrument exist all throughout Africa, known by different names, including ratatak, telewasa, and wasaumba. It is played with quick downward motions, causing the gourd slices to move up and down the connector stick, clacking together to make a sharp percussive sound. Covered by our warranty, this instrument features: * ~12" tall solid wood handle and connector * About 5 pairs of dried calabash * Handcrafted using natural materials in Ghana * As a handmade product exact appearance may vary from photos, and may not include ball rattle on one end

Sent my wife something similar -Wife did not notice that she did not receive the one described. Was missing the rattle ball. I noticed instantly after she had it for a week & showed me. Wifey did not want me to call and complain, now it disappeared & we can't find. Was loud, noisy & irritating anyways.

Great product & value! The shaker has a distinctive sound, with a combination of tones (seeds in the ball). Recommended for the percussionist who haves everything!

Wasn't what I expected and it was broken when I opened the package. Disappointing... was looking forward to a unique instrument.
