{"product_id":"gourd-shekere-7cm","title":"Gourd Shekere – 14cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Large Gourd Shekere is a handcrafted percussion instrument from Ghana, featuring a natural dried gourd body surrounded by a beaded net that moves across the surface to create bright, textured rhythms with excellent projection. Its larger size produces a fuller, more resonant sound, making it well suited to world music, classroom percussion, acoustic performances, workshops, and live settings. Expressive, tactile, and visually striking, the shekere offers a wide range of rhythmic possibilities through shaking, tapping, and twisting techniques. As each instrument is handmade from natural materials, variations in colour, shape, beadwork, and finish are to be expected, ensuring every shekere is truly unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.941031%;
