SPARK SHAKER

SH16

The MEINL Spark Shaker is a very versatile instrument, and is unlike anything heard before. The sparkling, chirping, splashing tones readily mix with almost any musical flavour. The pod-like shape fits easily into the hand and may be manipulated for many interesting effects. Spark Shakers may be played in pairs, or in combination with other shakers for even more variations. It‘s as unique as the player who knows how to use it.

SPIN SPARK SHAKER

SH17

The MEINL Spin Spark Shaker is equipped with a screw-mounted disc that adjusts and amplifies the characteristics of the fundamental pitch. When the disc is tight, the pitch is highest; and it deepens as the disc is loosened. There is a distinctively pleasant supplemental timbre. The shaker may be manipulated in the hand for many filtering effects.

SH18

One side of the MEINL Headed Spark Shaker is a drum head! Premium goatskin and a steel shell provide a rattling combination of crisp warm tones and a bright metal timbre. Used alone or in combination with the Spark Shaker, its highly variable and “bendable” sound provides a very unique musical character.
