## Overview

The Meinl Percussion Luis Conte Artist Series Shaker in red features four connected chambers producing a soft, silky-smooth sound at 72–76 dB—ideal for studio and acoustic performances. Designed with Grammy-winning percussionist Luis Conte, this lightweight, all-weather synthetic shaker offers consistent control and durability. Made by the family-owned German brand Meinl since 1951, it’s the go-to instrument for nuanced rhythms and professional sound quality, backed by a 2-year warranty.

## Description

These shakers were designed according to master percussionist Luis Conte’s exact requirements. “My shaker sound is as smooth as silk” is how Luis describes them. The red shaker is the softest compared to the black and grey versions. It delivers ultra-smooth percussive colors that can blend well and cut at the same time, responding beautifully at any volume level. A little quieter than the other Luis Conte shakers, it is excellent for studio use and is great for soft acoustic performaces as well. Any drummer or percussionist will find this instrument extremely useful in their music. Whether playing a mic'd set or a softer unplugged gig with a cajon, the Luis Conte red shaker sets the standard for a silky smooth sound. Pair with the black and grey models to complete the trio!

Review: Shaker Instrument - Gift for a niece who in the percussion section of a her school band. Looked great and well made, sounded good and was fun to play with while I was wrapping it!!
Review: Exceeded expectations - This shaker is easy to hold and you can play with more nuance than an egg shaker. It is a similar sound to an egg shaker but loud enough to use in a larger venue. I’ve been using it in a jam group. I had bought a tube-style shaker in the past and did not like the sound so I never used it and was skeptical about getting something else. But this has been great!
