Does what it says on the tin.

This is a really nice instrument.

I bought it to play along side my congas for Rumba/Cuban folk music.

It is effective in what it is trying to do but is by no means an easy addition.

Playing a shekere in your hands is a piece of cake but getting used to the delay with a foot pedal takes quite some patience to master!

The other thing is, is that it's really loud! And as you have to work it with your foot (whilst seated) there's not a lot you can do about its proximity to your head.

I would say that it's a great product if you are really, really sure what you are going to use it for...

Otherwise it's an expensive whimsical purchase and will spend a fair amour of time in the box.
