This Udu® is formed after the traditional construction methods of the east Nigerian Ibo tribe, and is very much a bass tonal range Udu®.
The Shorty Shaker not only has an interesting design, it also produces a very controlled shaker sound. With its special chamber construction, the Shorty Shaker is the right choice for unplugged concerts.
This small, light, precise and highly durable wooden shaker combines all the desired features of a shaker with the playing scope of a Caixixi. Play it horizontally and it sounds like a shaker, play it vertically and it sounds like a Caixixi.
