Description

Meinl SH-R Pro Fiberglass Medium Shekere is a modern take on a traditional African percussion instrument, offering enhanced durability, volume, and tonal control. Crafted for professional musicians and educators alike, this shekere delivers dynamic rhythmic textures and vibrant visual appeal, perfect for stage, studio, and classroom use.

Materials and Build Quality

The SH-R features a tough yet lightweight fiberglass shell that mimics the shape and proportions of traditional gourd shekeres, but with improved strength and resistance to humidity and impact. Its hand-strung nylon netting is embedded with high-quality plastic beads that are tightly woven for maximum playability and sound control. The instrument’s ergonomic hourglass design includes a flared base for stability and projection, while the glossy red finish adds bold visual character to its robust construction.

Performance and Use Cases

This medium-sized shekere delivers a balanced mix of crisp rattle, deep body resonance, and dynamic response. Whether shaken rhythmically, twisted for swirl effects, or tapped with the hand, the SH-R adapts easily to various musical styles including Afro-Cuban, West African, Latin, fusion, and contemporary world music. Its fiberglass body allows for louder projection compared to traditional gourd shekeres, making it ideal for ensemble work, amplified live settings, and outdoor performances. The design also ensures consistency in tone and tuning over time, which is critical for professional touring and recording musicians.
