Before LP created the LP Afuche /Cabasa, only fragile cabasas existed. These were made from coconut shells and a lattice of seeds strung with wire. LP created the LP Traditional Cabasa to replace these frail instruments. * Crafted from high strength plastic for the shell, wood handle, and beads, with tough nylon cord for the bead stringing * Yields a bright and lively sound with greater dynamic range and durability than its predecessor, yet with the same shape and playing feel
