The Lima Stick Shaker, formerly known as the Cha Cha Shaker, is a handcrafted Peruvian percussion instrument made from a cluster of natural nutshells attached to a short wooden handle with a colourful woven band. The seeds are sourced from the Amazon rainforest and create a bright, organic rattling sound when shaken, making this instrument a great addition to percussion collections, music making, and sound exploration. Handmade using sustainable materials, each shaker is unique, with slight variations in colour and design that add to its character. Eco friendly, lightweight, and easy to play, the Lima Stick Shaker is a thoughtful gift for music lovers, percussionists, and collectors who appreciate authentic handcrafted instruments. Suitable for ages 3 years and above.
