Product Review
The double-pod caxixi (kaa-SHEE-shee) shaker is hand woven using brightly colored reed, hard gourd base, and pebbles and seeds. The double basket size is great for more volume in larger groups. It creates a high pitched, clear-cutting percussive sound, great for keeping time in a percussion ensemble. It is typically played upright, using a sharp up-and-down motion so the seeds and pebbles strike the hard gourd base. Our money back guarantee applies to this caxixi, which features: * 5-6" tall baskets (2), 3-4" round, 3-4" handle connecting baskets * Durable woven construction with handle and cross-support to keep baskets in place * Reed permanently dyed in bright colors, woven in matching patterns * Typically played in pairs, but sold individually * African-made product from Africa Heartwood Project (World Percussion USA is the ONLY authorized seller of Africa Heartwood Project instruments on Amazon. All other sellers claiming above to also sell this item as described are not honest sellers, so proceed with caution.)
