Been out a year due to job loss and relocation but I'm back in the game now. I have a new batch of shekeres and lots of new design concepts coming.

Reggae Shake SOLD

Solid gourd with natural finish and polyurethane. About 8" diameter and 12"-13" tall: 25 leads, 9 rows with 50 beads / row totaling 450. I'd put this against any shekere you could purchase at Guitar Center for sound, looks, and value.

Easy and comfortable player.

Tangerine Burst SOLD

Solid gourd with light natural finish and polyurethane. About 10" diameter and 14"-15" tall: 30 leads, 12 rows with 60 beads / row totaling 720 beads.

Plenty of sound and slap space on the bottom. Very musical gourd.

SOLD

Amethyst Burst

Rock solid gourd with deep natural finish and polyurethane. About 10" diameter and 14"-15" tall: 30 leads, 13 rows with 60 beads / row totaling 780 beads.

Nice deep sound and solid player; very responsive.


Price is $80 shipped CONUSA.

White Pearl SOLD!

Solid gourd with natural finish and polyurethane. About 8" diameter and 12"-13" tall: 25 leads, 9 rows with 50 beads / row totaling 450. I'd put this against any shekere you could purchase at Guitar Center for sound, looks, and value. Pearl Mist finish creates iridescence while preserving natural texture of gourd.

Black Iridescent SOLD!!
Solid gourd with light natural finish contrasting against beads. About 8" diameter and 12"-13" tall; 25 leads, 10 rows with 50 beads / row totaling 500 beads. Very good shekere for sound and value. Gourd with interesting texture and flush with natural colors (yellow, gold, amber, textures). Polyurethane deepens natural colors and contrasts.

Both gourds/shekeres are easy and comfortable players.

Patina Burst SOLD

Solid gourd with natural finish and polyurethane. About 10" diameter and 13"-14" tall: 25 leads, 12 rows with 54 beads / row totaling 648.

Sturdy bottle gourd, responsive with bright sustain due to wider port opening. Copper Mist finish creates deep copper iridescence while preserving natural texture of gourd. Patina Burst represents the color of copper when it oxidizes moving from medium turquoise on the edges to light turquoise and aqua-green in the center. Bright colors of beads dance in the light and contrast against deep reds/coppers. Very unique shekere

SOLD

Harvest Gold Burst SOLD

Solid gourd with Liquid Bronze finish and polyurethane. About 11-12" diameter and 13"-14" tall: 30 leads, 12 rows with 50 beads / row totaling 720 beads. Nice low-medium sustain from gourd. Dynamic paint concept creates bronze look that changes in the light. Harvest Gold Burst amplifies deep burnt gold and reds hidden in the finish creating visual harmony. Comfortable and loud player with plenty of slap space.

SOLD

I can highly recommend Matts (slinginit) work, he can also take custom orders, as he did with my 3, we worked together to get the design right. Im very happy with them. They've made it safely all the way from Indiana to Sydney I wish I had more arms n hands to play them at the same time Each one is unique in sound, perfect for separating independent parts.
Order yours today, you wont be dissapointed.
