Wooden Clapper PP2061

This fantastically noisy instrument is handcrafted by independent makers in India. It consists of a long handle, two smaller pieces of wood, all attached by elasticated cord creating a mottled clave sound when shaken.

The main body of the clapper is made from mango wood for added resonance, producing a powerful, sharp and direct sound. To play, shake vigorously so the two smaller panels ‘clap’ against the main handle.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.
