Frequently Asked Questions

How many Kashaka shakers will I receive?

You will receive one Kashaka Shaker (with two balls) in your order. If you'd like to play with both hands, please order two.

Is the rope adjustable?

The Gourd Kashaka Shaker comes in two types: adjustable and non-adjustable. The adjustable version allows you to undo the knot, reposition the ball, and create a new knot to adjust the rope length for a snug fit, making it ideal for those who need more flexibility. The non-adjustable version has a fixed rope length that works well for most hand sizes but may not be suitable for everyone. If you have smaller or larger-than-average hands, we recommend selecting the adjustable version. Please let us know which type you prefer when checking out.

What are some uses for Kashaka shakers?

Kashaka shakers are versatile instruments used for rhythm practice, music production, sound design, percussion performances, and educational purposes.

Do the gourd sizes vary?

Yes, the size of each gourd may vary as they are made from natural produce. When purchasing two, we always try to select similar-sized gourds for ease of playing.

How should I care for this product?

To care for your Kashaka shaker, clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Store it away from moisture, high humidity, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking. Polishing is not necessary unless used for display. To avoid mold, keep the shaker dry.

Should I buy one or a pair of Kashaka shakers?

For beginners, practicing with one Kashaka shaker is perfectly fine. However, if you'd like to learn to play with both hands or take advantage of our discounted pair offer, we recommend purchasing a pair.

How do I play the Kashaka Shaker?

To play the Kashaka Shaker, hold the rope between your middle and ring fingers, with one ball resting in your hand and the other dangling. Shake gently in a 4-beat rhythm, allowing the balls to clack together. As you get comfortable, experiment with variations such as shaking on specific beats or speeding up the rhythm.

For advanced techniques, incorporate wrist movements and alternate between open, closed movements, and shakes to create dynamic sounds. Our eBook, The Complete Kashaka Player, is a step-by-step guide from basic rhythms to advanced techniques, designed to help you master the Kashaka Shaker quickly and efficiently.
