Guiro Shaker

The Guiro is a Latin-American percussion instrument which dates back hundreds of years. Traditionally they accompany a singer and are played by dragging the pua (playing stick) along the fluted shell which creates the familiar ratchet-like sound. The guiro can also be played like a maraca as its hollow shell is filled with tiny beads which produce a soft and sandy sound.

The guiro is a beautiful accompaniment instrument to frog songs as it ratchet-like sound resembles a “croak”.
