HAND PERCUSSION
Large Turbo Cabasa - CA5BK-L
The MEINL Turbo Cabasas are a great innovation, with significantly more volume than normal cabasas. This comes from the sound ports in the resonating chamber. The Turbo Cabasas bring the classic cabasa sound to a new level that will cut through any sonic environment.
Features:
- PATENTED SOUND PORT DESIGN: circular sound ports in the body of the cabasa give you more volume, projection, and an extra-crisp sound; made for live and studio
- WHY IT MATTERS: it takes less effort to be heard, so you’re more relaxed while playing and can lock-in with the groove; plus, the sound carries easily to cut through the mix even when not mic’ed
- HOW IT WORKS: rub, shake, spin, or tap the stainless steel beaded chain with your hand to get different sounds; behind the chain is a stainless steel ribbed cylinder that produces the classic raspy cabasa effect
- OF NOTE: the chains aren’t too lose or too tight so the beads move easily; their fluid motion allows you to be more expressive and accurate because you’re not dealing with too much friction
- ZOOM IN: the body (or chamber) is made of durable hardwood for warm tone, and the handle is padded with soft foam for comfort and control
- THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a professional, versatile, and controllable cabasa that works in any venue or studio; it’s easy to get a great sound and is a fantastic addition to your percussion collection
