GU7BK

• 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
