Combining the best of two worlds, this Toca Shekere looks like it came straight from the African soil, but it's got a tough, weatherproof fiberglass shell that has more tone than a traditional dried gourd. Durable fiberglass in the shape of a traditional gourd is wrapped with hand strung glass beads. It is played by being shaken or twisted and when hit on bottom, produces a deep, resonant bass tone.
