Large Coconut Maracas Shaker Pair 2 - Authentic World Percussion Instrument - Hand-Painted Design, Stained Handle, Filled with Pebbles and Beads by World Percussion USA

1. How Does It Look?I really love the artwork on this maraca. It is really beautiful and since it is handmade, the artwork will be slightly different on each maraca that is bought from World Percussion USA. However, as with all handmade instruments, there is a bit of imperfections here and there although nothing to complain too much about since everything on the maraca is intact. "0.75 STARS!"2. How Does It Sound?This is my first maraca, but to me its sounds great and isn't too bright sounding, but has a good balance of treble and bass. "1.00 STARS!"3. How Easy Is It To Use?It is a fairly easy instrument to learn. It doesn't take too long to get some nice rhythms down. I can see how pairing this maraca with another maraca would be a lot of fun. :] "1.00 STARS!"4. How Does It Feel?Because it has somewhat of a rough paint job and artwork design, you will notice little rough spots on the handle and gourd that should be smoothed out, but it's nothing that will give you a splinter or anything. Overall it feels solidly built and you don't have to be super gentle with it as you can get quite aggressive with the movements as long as you have a bit of common sense. "0.75 STARS!"5. Is It Worth The Price?Yes! Their are plenty of great maracas around this price, but if you're looking for a handmade one with unique artwork then I would check this maraca out! "1.00 STARS!"6. Should You Buy This?I think so! This is a beautiful looking maraca despite its minor artwork flaws. It sounds so soothing and has a great balance of treble and bass.7. What's My Rating?I rate this product a 4.50 out of 5.00 stars and have to round up to 5.00 stars for Amazon's review system.DISCLAIMER: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest, unbiased review and opinions.

These have a nice sound. They are beautifully hand painted. My set had a handle come loose but with a little glue they will be fine. Nice for worship and any band.

I give these 5 stars in beauty! However maracas we’re shipped in a paper envelope and one of the maracas handles was totally off the top. Fortunately the seeds were still in the coconut so I glued them together.

These are amazing high quality Maracas. I am very pleased with the sound and the quality. I would defiantly recommend.

Sure they both shake just fine, but they look nothing alike. One is small and white, the other one is large and brown and even the handles are differentm one is thin and rough.What I wanted was a pair of maracas that at least looked similar, like the ones in the advertisement picture.Very disappointed

This item was nicely made with good craftsmanship. It's nice to find handmade items. It had a nice sound, and blended in nicely at our drum circle.

Super fun to play. Beautifully painted.

Very well made and nice design!
