Latin Percussion Large Cabasa/Afuche Wood

The LP Large Wooden Afuche/Cabasa, Martin Cohen's second patented invention, was developed nearly thirty years ago. It has since become the most popular hand percussion instrument ever created! Constructed using endless loops of steel bead chain wrapped around a specially textured, stainless steel cylinder. Wooden flanges enclose the cylinder and a wooden handle is attached to the bottom. Designed to create rhythmic scraping sounds and patterns. Beads can be rotated around the textured steel or the instrument can be spun or shaken for varying sounds
