Specially version of the guiro shaker, made for smaller hands. This is 11cm long and just right for Early Years players. The natural wooden guiro case is filled with small beads so adds an extra rustle to the sound, as well as having the option to double up as a Shaker or Ganza. The scraping Guiro sound is bright, and the overall design is popular with schools and professional percussionists alike.

Product Information

How to Play

There are several ways to play this this instrument; as a Shaker, hold in one or both hands and rock back and forth; as a Scraper take the stick in one hand, the Guiro in the other and run the stick up and down the ridges on the Guiro; as a Wood Block take the stick in one hand, the Guiro in the other and hit the stick against the Guiro. Once you’ve got the hang of making these different sounds, try combining them in different ways. It is a wonderfully versatile instrument.

Delivery

We work with a small number of specialist logistic companies to deliver your order quickly and economically. The delivery method varies, depending on your location and the size of the order, as follows:

UK Locations

Large orders – Pallet service, 3 to 5 working day delivery. Used for large orders and those with more fragile contents.

Please note:

  1. Above timings are from dispatch date. Time from placing your order will usually be one or two days longer, depending on the order and destination.
  2. Delivery to offshore or Highland addresses may take longer and may cost more than to UK mainland addresses and we’ll quote and agree the costs with you in advance. Please note that in these cases it’s fine to go ahead and place your order, and there’s no obligation on your part until the delivery costs have been quoted and accepted by you.
  3. For some destinations, where a courier service isn’t available, we may send by Royal Mail instead.

International Locations

Orders weighing more than about 1kg and large orders – international courier or pallet service. We’ll obtain competitive quotes and agree these with you in advance.

Payment for international orders, including shipping costs, is required before dispatch of the goods.

Returns

Please let us know straight away if anything arrives damaged or otherwise in a substandard condition and we’ll be happy to replace it, refund the cost or provide you with an alternative product to your satisfaction. Speed is of the essence here as most courier companies will only accept responsibility for damage in transit if the damage is reported within 24 hours of delivery.

 In the event of damage, please take photographs, including any damage to the packaging, and email these to us ASAP.

Similarly, if an instrument  develops a fault within 12 months of purchase in the course of normal use (though excluding fair wear and tear), please let us know, and we’ll replace it or refund the cost. It’s also very helpful for us to see photos of the issue as this gives us solid information for changing the design, the production method or the packing materials.

But please do contact us before returning any damaged or substandard items. Once we’ve approved their return, please send to:  Drums for Schools Limited, 21 Shaftesbury Avenue, Burton Joyce NG14 5GL 

We really appreciate your feedback in the case of faults (or if you think an instrument could be improved in any way) and we take all such feedback very seriously indeed.

Our order just arrived and I’m so happy with everything! I’m going to order all my instruments from your company from now on as the price, service and delivery are all better than the other companies I’ve tried.
