Fiesta Maracas

Description

Some instruments are things of delicate beauty, carefully crafted to coax out every subtle tone and melody an artist needs to express an inner vision. Think of all the skill it takes to create or even to play a harp, a piano, a saxophone. On the other hand, there are plenty of other instruments that are just plain fun. You don’t have to be any kind of expert to play a tambourine, for instance, or a wood block, or a set of maracas. These are instruments ready made for the amateur musician who just wants to have a good time and make some noise.

These colorful maracas (sometimes known as rumba sticks) are just the ticket for anybody who’s looking to get a party started without having to fall back on musical talent. Two eight-inch wooden shakers are painted in vibrant yellow, red, blue, and orange patterns and filled with beads for that familiar shaking sound. They’re a perfect accent to a festive costume or a handy item to have around when a jam session happens to break out. And best of all, there’s no skill required, just healthy enthusiasm.
