The MEINL Classic Hardwood Claves are the most common claves and produce the classic cutting sound with just the right amount of resonance. These Claves are solid and deliver a bright, pleasant tone that is fitting for any style of music and any musician, professional or beginner. For drummers, learning clave patterns that originate in African and Latin music is a great way to learn, understand, and apply poly rhythmic patterns to the drum kit. These instruments are vital for any percussionist that is looking to enhance their sound.
PUT THEM IN A SONG RIGHT AWAY: anyone can play these claves, regardless of skill; their bright wood tone cuts through music nicely when struck together without blaring “clack” sounds
WHY IT MATTERS: their naturally musical tone can instantly change the feel of your music, even if you’re not sure how to play them; add to songs live or in the studio
CATCH UP QUICK: one big reason our Classic Claves are so popular is they have identical shape and weight, so there’s practically no learning curve; just hold them with a loose grip to let the wood resonate as you strike them together
DRIVING THE SOUND: made of solid, select hardwood with consistent grain and color to get a deeply resonant effect; our durable finish seals the wood while letting it respond fully
OF NOTE: Meinl Classic Claves are multi-use; they can be played in traditional Cuban and Afro-Latin music, contemporary styles, drum circles, and they’re perfect in classrooms to teach students about rhythm
BY THE NUMBERS: sold in pairs, they measure 8″ long x 1″ wide and weigh about 3 ounces each; this size isn’t too big or too small to fit your needs in most settings
THE BOTTOM LINE: there’s no limit on where these claves will fit, and you just need a loose grip to get a great natural wood tone; they’re easy to jam with, and their smooth finish is designed to last
THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you’re delivered the absolute finest quality
