Needs tuning
LuluNyeusi 30.07.2020
Natural calabash guiros sound great. However I was disappointed with LP's workmanship. The grooves appeared to have been cut with a rotary grinder/engraver. They were not straight and it appeared that the person using it was not experienced. After it was cut there was a drippy varnish applied which further dampened the sound. The sound was very weak.

Fortunately the grooves were only a 1-2mm deep. I used a 30mm round file to dig out the ruts and in about 20 minutes I had it sounding great. I guess all instruments need a little tuning.

A classic guiro
Steve Wray, England 29.07.2017
This is a famous LP guiro. It looks and sounds great. It is probably the ultimate guiro. It can be seen in videos of Tito Puente. Highly recommended.

Mal was anderes...

Die Guiro macht mir Ihrem sehr großen Korpus - im vergleich zu anderen Guiros - allein schon optisch einiges her.

Da es sich um ein Naturprodukt handelt, ist die Verarbeitung im Korpus logischerweise nicht so tadellos und pikfein wie bei den Industriell gefertigten Guiros - was aber meiner Meinung nach letztlich den Charme des Instrumentes ausmacht.

Klanglich ist das Instrument ebenso vorzüglich - ein tiefer satter und durchsetzungsfähiger Klang. Die Spielweise mit dem mitgelieferten Holzstab ist allerdings etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig (bei langer und lauter Spielweise z.B. im Orchester).
Daher ein Stern Abzug.

Trotzdem eine Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die etwas "neues" testen wollen und die der Preis nicht abschreckt!

Instrument très sympa et accessible!

Débutant dans les percussions latines (et apprécient également le jazz-latin ou le latin rock), j'ai décidé d'opter pour ce Guiro. Il est fabriqué aux Etats-Unis et on sent vraiment que le bois est de bonne qualité et que le produit est fait main, bien que le produit soit léger et donc fragile. Le son est assez basique pour un guiro mais remplit totalement sa fonctionnalité. Je le recommande à quiconque débutant dans les percussions latines.
