	Small Cabasa	$41.00
This gorgeous, quality instrument made especially for small hands. At first I thought this beautiful Cabasa was a little on the expensive side, but I found it to be well worth the money! The Cabasa is 14cm long and is constructed with loops of steel ball chain wrapped around a cylinder that is fixed to a long, narrow wooden handle. Of African origin, the cabasa provides a metallic, rattling sound when shaken or twisted, similar to the sound of a rattlesnake. It is often used in Latin jazz, especially in bossa nova pieces. The instrument is frequently used in music therapy, particularly with individuals who have physical/neurological disabilities as it requires minimal hand movement to produce a sound. The sound produced by the cabasa is a lovely, soft but rings of quality. The motion used to make the sound is also unique and a great way to strengthen wrist and hand control.

We strive to ensure that all of our products are made from plantation timbers using fair trade practices.
