Clave is phrased in what is known as a 3⁄2 (forward clave) or 2⁄3 (backward clave) feel. That is, three beats then two beats or, two beats then three beats. Claves are the traditional instruments used to play clave and are comprised of two sticks that are struck together to get a sharp, cracking sound. One is called the Clave or male, while the other is the Striker or female. The Clave lays in one hand between the fingertips and the heel of the hand, with the thumb out for support. This space between the Clave and the palm of the hand creates a sound chamber. The Striker is held as a beater in the other hand and is struck against the Clave. | | | Features: | |
• Traditional style white wood clave with an attractive finish

 Lovely sound, great price, great for traveling.Mar 07, 2011

I will be traveling extensively over the next several weeks for business. I wanted something that I could bring with me on my travels that would allow me to easily practice my percussion practice. These claves were a great solution. They are wood, and they go through airport security (checked bags) just fine. They have a lovely, bright, and very loud sound. The wood is attractive, and while they have a surprising heft, they are light enough to travel easily. They're also a great alternative instrument for drum circle.

 Nice tone, good feel, comfortable sizeJan 16, 2012
By C. Sutherland
My headline says it all really. The tone is full but crisp, the sticks themselves have a nice solid feel and they fit my hands nicely.
No complaints and very pleased.

Great price for well made and great sounding ClavesNov 12, 2011
By Colin J. Davis
Anything made by Latin Percussion is going to be a great product. I've owned other percussion instruments by LP and have been extremely satisfied. These claves are great for any Latin percussion gig or just to have around for when friends want to come jam.
I recommend for sure!

Nice soundJul 17, 2011
By S. Hoover
I have no others to compare it too, but it sounds about like I expected. Other models were so expensive, I mean,
it's just two pieces of wood....I was tempted to cut about 50 cents worth of wooden dowel and make my own, but
maybe this is some "special, hand-selected wood". I'd appreciated any CONSTRUCTIVE thoughts on why so many models
are so expensive! Yes, I understand that some woods are more expensive than others, but still...
