These shakers were designed according to master percussionist Luis Conte’s exact requirements. “My shaker sound is as smooth as silk” is how Luis describes them. The black shaker covers the middle ground between the red and grey versions. It delivers ultra-smooth percussive colors that can blend well and cut at the same time, responding beautifully at any volume level. A little louder than the red shaker, it is perfect to use for both studio and live situations. Any drummer or percussionist will find this instrument extremely useful in their playing. Whether playing a mic’d set or a softer unplugged gig with a cajon, the Luis Conte black shaker dominates in versatility and musicality. Pair with the red and grey models to complete the trio of sounds!
WHY IT MATTERS: you can have the same shaker sound as a highly in demand professional; plus, Luis dialed-in this signature series to deliver sound that fits across his epic list of artists, so you’re covered for any scenario
HOW IT WORKS: separate shaker chambers are fused in one unit for predictable response with silky smooth shaker tone; grip the shaker in the middle, and you’ll instantly have fine control for consistent, balanced sound
GOLDILOCKS VERSION: not too loud but carries with pleasant sound; this is the medium volume version with the most applications of all three Luis Conte shakers (SOFT: great for studio, MEDIUM: use almost anywhere, LOUD: best for high volume live shows)
YES, BUT: made with 100% all-weather synthetic material for crisp sound while being plenty durable; some might squawk if not metal or wood, but the clear timbre, relaxed feel and ruggedness of synthetic tipped the scale for Luis and our designers
BY THE NUMBERS: this shaker measures 6 7/8″ long x 3 1/8″ wide, and its volume ranges around 79-81 decibels (a little softer than a strum of an acoustic guitar)
THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play this shaker anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn’t matter what your skill level is; it will do the trick whether you’re a drummer or singer with no percussion experience
THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you’re delivered the absolute finest quality
