The Drumfire DFP-CC73-BLU/RED 8″ Wood Claves are made of solid hardwood. Claves are traditional instruments 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 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. Red and blue finish. 2 pieces per set. Length: 20cm
