Custom made shekere by long-time artisan.

Very large gourds sourced from growers in Georgia. Gourds this size are hard to get.
Artisan fnished in light amber and deep cedar, then netted in large dark wooden beads. Sound is thicker and darker compared with plastic or glass beads.

See photos for size comparisons with a 2L bottle and ruler.

Dark n Chunky over golden stain: $115 plus shipping

Dark n Chunky over deep cedar stain: $135 + shipping (larger gourd)

Player can tension the net according to playing style, and skirt included a "wrist loop" to prevent accidental droppage.

Shipping in CONUSA only.

These are still available. Every shekere i make is an unique instrument, starting with a fresh gourd.

I have more designs to post, and many more designs to build from my sketch book.

Thanks for looking.

These are still available. More designs are coming!!
