LP Jim Greiner Pro Shekere

Description

Designed in collaboration with LP artist, Jim Greiner, this fiberglass shekere combines old- and new-world technology to create an original version of this popular West African instrument. It´s designed to offer the traditional sound and feel of the relatively fragile gourd-based shekere, but with the durability and consistency of contemporary materials.

The shell of the Jim Greiner Shekere is slightly smaller overall than that of LP´s standard model. This improved size and shape was created by digitally matching an original organic gourd hand-selected by Jim, and then further tailoring all the dimensions for optimal feel, balance, projection, and sound. Jim also worked with LP´s designers to create unbreakable plastic beads that replicate the traditional bead-on-gourd sound.
