## Overview

The Meinl Percussion African Select Hardwood Claves are expertly crafted musical instrument sticks designed for a rich, low-pitched sound. With a hollow body made from select hardwood, these claves are perfect for a variety of musical genres, including Latin, rock, and orchestral music. Measuring 12 inches in length, they deliver outstanding resonance and clarity, making them an essential addition to any studio or classroom percussion collection.

## Description

African Claves are slightly larger and have a lower fundamental pitch. Additionally, the resonating body is larger than the striker. Available in two different versions: Solid and hollowed out body.

## Features

- Low pitch with clear attack — sold in pairs, the Meinl Percussion African Hardwood Claves deliver a deep wood tone with low fundamental pitch typically heard in African rhythms and dance music — these claves cut through the mix with a rich wood tone
- Hollow hardwood — a hollow resonating body made with select hardwood develops the lowest pitch of all Meinl clave styles, and the sound has extra resonance from the hollow build — sound ports are located on one side with a port on the end as well
- Versatile sound — great to use for traditional Latin American music, rock, pop, concert band and even orchestral music (live or in the studio) — these claves also work great in larger ensemble settings like classroom band and drum circles
- African style — the large body measures 12" L x 1 3/4" W and the striker measures 10" L x 3/4" W to produce a low pitch — the body has a smooth notch where the sound ports are located for more resonance and volume (this notch faces down into your palm)
- Specially weighted for outstanding attack — the large body weighs 9 ounces and the small striker weighs 3 ounces — this noticeable weight difference helps deliver a solid "knock" sound when you strike them together that's crystal-clear and full of depth
- Perfect for studio percussion collections — studio owners will find it handy to have these African style claves as part of a collection of percussion instruments to always have ready when the moment calls for it during recording
- Dark stained finish — features a stained finish that darkens the natural wood grain

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente!!!

Excelente!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice sound for the price!
*by E***X on January 2, 2025*

I liked the tone and sound of this clave because it wasn't so high pitch sounding. The wood finish is nice. It has a great indentation for sound so you don't have to stress trying to cup your hand. It works great for playing Hispanic/ latin Christmas songs. Shipping took quite awhile so unfortunately, I didn't receive it before my community Christmas/new years program. I'm really happy with the quality and the cost of the product. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice sound
*by D***N on April 21, 2024*

Very functional claves. With the proper technique they produce a quality (and loud) clave sound.Good solid quality wood and one would expect from Meinl
