An interesting Wooden Chekeré (Shekeré), played by Venezuelan percussionist Douglas "Chino" Mora.

Wow, that's a lot of work.
Like building a miniature bata-cajon.
Kudos!

I think this was the prototype

Ain't nutt'in like the real thang:

Interesting, but I rather stay with the real thing..I don't even care for the fiberglass type. There are plenty of gourds to go through all of that work and from what I see the lack of roundnees I think it would make for akward playing.

That big chekere that Tito Sandoval, has in his hands looks beautifull, and folkloric,
who makes those?...and who owns it?.....
i have seen it in a few of your pictures.
