Meinl SHR Shekere Fiberglass Medium Red

The Meinl SH-R Shekere brings authentic West African percussion to your hands with a virtually indestructible fiberglass construction that won’t let you down. This medium-sized shekere features a striking red shell crafted from premium fiberglass, producing the crisp and clear tones that define quality percussion instruments. The hand-made construction ensures each piece meets professional standards while remaining almost unbreakable for reliable performance.

Designed with the modern percussionist in mind, this shekere incorporates a slim neck for enhanced playing comfort during extended sessions. The adjustable net system allows you to customise the sound to suit your playing style, while the furrowed surface design maximises sound projection for performances that cut through any mix. These thoughtful design elements make it suitable for both studio work and live performances.

Rooted in West African and Latin American folkloric traditions, the shekere has found its place in contemporary music styles across genres. Traditionally made from dried gourds with woven netting of beads or seeds, this modern interpretation maintains the authentic sound characteristics while offering superior durability and consistency that touring musicians and recording artists demand.
