This natural maracas is made of rattan and filled with tiny glass beads.
The long handle, crafted from rattan, is not only highly sustainable but also remarkably flexible. As a result, the rattan handle and the wooden sphere move slightly when shaken, creating a dynamic and organic rhythm.
It seems that the vibrations between the instrument, the body, the intent of playing, and the intensity are interconnected, even energizing one another. This ensures a lively and immersive playing experience.
The flexible rattan handle and small glass beads allow for experimentation with different rhythms, enabling both precise and direct playing.
This maracas invites improvisation and offers a broad sound spectrum, ranging from soft and delicate tones to sharp and rattling accents.
And the best part? This delicate maracas is made from rattan, an exceptionally sustainable material. Rattan can only grow in regions with untouched rainforests and must be harvested by hand, ensuring the preservation of the natural ecosystem.
