- OUR MOST SOLID GUIRO: the hard-to-damage, premium fiberglass body can take a lot more abuse than traditional wood; plus, it's unaffected by changes in weather which can affect sound
- WHY IT MATTERS: this instrument is used a lot in Latin American dance music and festivals where you're playing outside; you won't have to worry about damage, plus, its sound doesn't go dull when humidity changes
- OF NOTE: there are three zones you can drag the scraper along to make different sounds; the main zone has a traditional sound, the looser packed ridges have a lower, resonant tone, and the super tight ridges have a quieter, high-pitch sound
- DRIVING THE SOUND: our premium fiberglass is molded with slightly rounded, shallow ridges that produce a deep and warm tone; this guiro's volume picks up where wood guiros leave off, making it easier for your sound to carry
- ZOOM IN: two rubber lined grip holes on back make it easy to hold and maintain resonance while playing; use them with your fingers like a bowling ball
- BY THE NUMBERS: measures 15 1/4" long x 4 1/2" wide and includes a 7 1/2" long synthetic scraper
- THE BOTTOM LINE: it fits with traditional Latin American styles, and you can play it with modern pop music too; its three striking zones open up more sounds, and it's high strength for road and outdoor use
- THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
Made with premium fiberglass and featuring three striking surfaces, this Guiro offers various sonic ranges.
