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
