Maracas,2psc 10inch Large Wood Rumba Shakers Set,Latin Hand Percussion with Full, Bright Vibrant Sound Musical Instrument, Stimulating Salsa Rhythm

I love these maracas! Lightweight and easy to use. Some reviewers have said they are not very loud but I think they sound just right. They seem pretty sturdy and can really take a good shaking! The price can't be beat, very reasonable.

With the mixed reviews on this item I wasn't sure what to think, but whomever thinks these are too small or doesn't have loud enough or soft enough sound, isn't of great quality or anything else, definitely didn't receive the Maracas that I did. They're not only beautiful to the eye, which is the least important, but they're made SO WELL. The size is perfect, not small (this is not for a child) and not huge, just right, and the sound quality aside from the wood quality itself is a professional, just perfect sound. I'd give 10 stars if I could. My neighbors and I are going to have a great jam session with my drum, tambourine and these truly professional and lovely maracas.

These maracas have the sound I've been looking for; organic, subtle, and suggestive of a rain forest. I bought a pair of well constructed plastic ones because the seller promised they would have a professional sound. I liked them but they were so loud I couldn't hear the music I wanted to accompany.. If you are interested in percussive sounds, you probably need a pair for the day someone asks you to play back-up on a stage and a soft pair to practice at home where you won't drive anyone crazy and you can hear yourself in relationship to the music. My only wish is that there was small ridge where the handle meets the gourd shape because that helps to keep your hands in the right position.

The product was much quieter than I would have liked. To make a meaningful noise you really have to shake them. Although they are quiet they look great and are sturdy. Mine got banged around while playing and did not break, or even get a scratch.

Excellent quality, arrived better than expected

Not bad, but the beads are light and more quiet than I'd like.

I shake these while listening to absolute bops on my spotify playlist while in my car on break at my work. I work in a family supermarket and I bust these babies out on the parking lot. I bring joy and smiles to people passing me by. I also bought a inconveniently and comically large sombrero from Party City to go with the maracas and I use them both while waiting in line at my local Taco Bell. I give the workers good music and great shh-shhka-shhh's with my maracas and it makes their whole night. I got the green and red decorated ones. They are nice and loud and are perfect for blasting out "Conga" by Gloria Estafon or even "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash, or why not "Wanna be Startin' Something" by Micheal Jackson? I mean why stop there? "Tequila" by The Champs, "Low Rider" by War, and everyone's favorite (That classic Mexican hat dance) "Jarabe Tapatio" by like literally any mariachi band. A Viente out of ten!!!!! ¡Ole!

Don't waste your hard earned money on these. In my book they are not Maracas. They may look like Maracas but they definitely aren't. I don't know what's inside them but it feels like it might be sand...or salt. I used to play Maracas with a musical group and they were wonderful. These don't even come close to a REAL pair of Maracas. The only thing they're good for is to hang on the wall as decoration, if that's how you want to decorate.
