This will do just fine

DIRTYFONK 07.07.2015

I love the fact that this instrument exists in the world ! I have been an experimenter of percussion - both home made and purchased - and wanted to get something that could be used with a sharpness and precision without the backbeat that often accompanies shakers, tambourines etc because of the manner of the movement of their contents.
This does what cabasas do - and everything that cabasas can do this one is certainly well capable of.
The first thing i did when it arrived was to dismantle it to see if i could loosen the metal beads a bit. I did want a bit of a looser feel now and again, but the beads cannot be loosened on this model - there is a place for a screwdriver but this only serves to hold the cabasa together with the handle. When you loosen the handle you also lower the sound - it is possible to have it sufficiently tight as to keep it together but have the pitch altered. I settled on a sound and soon got used to this medium cabasa.
It is nice and loud - the sound cuts through well - although for a live setting i think other larger cabasas would be more ideal, but that is not to say that this could not be used live , i think it would be fine and will be trying it out.
For a percussion instrument you can do a lot with the cabassa in terms of playing techniques - and even tho the beads on this one are not really loose those 'rolls' where the cabasa is lifted and kind of scooped round (so the beads slip round) are still easily achievable.
As i have seen this from the inside i can see that the construction is basic but for the price i think the quality and functionality of this is very good.

Für den Gelegenheitsspieler völlig i.O.

Vorweg, ich bin kein professioneller Percussionist und habe keine Ahnung, worauf man beim Kauf einer Cabasa noch so achten könnte. Die Klangbeispiele von Modellen einschlägiger Hersteller (LP, Meinl, Sonor) legen nahe, dass man sich den teils deutlichen Mehrpreis schenken kann.

Der Klang ist hell und präzise, exakt so wie ich mir das vorstelle, ob nun live oder auf Aufnahmen. Größe und Bauart haben es mir schnell ermöglicht, grundlegende Techniken umzusetzen, also gibt es wenig am Instrument auszusetzen.

Der ummantelte Griff liegt gut in der Hand und fühlt sich für mich besser an als ein reiner Holzgriff. Leider löst sich auch dieser geschraubte Griff von Zeit zu Zeit, deshalb ein Sternchen Abzug. Diesen "Fehler" kenne ich auch von anderen Cabasas, und man kann mit Sicherheit Abhilfe schaffen, im Extremfall mit etwas Loctite im Gewinde. Allerdings hat es mir bisher gereicht, den Griff einfach vor dem Spielen noch einmal kräftig anzuziehen.

Cabasa

Was soll ich dazu sagen... Es ist eine Cabasa die genau so klingt, wie eine Cabasa klingen soll! Auch die Verarbeitung ist tiptop! Ich habe noch kein Problem mit dem Instrument gehabt und spiele damit regelmäßig in einer Bigband. Sämliche Proben und Gigs und sie hat mich noch nicht im Stich gelassen =)

ordentlich

Gut verarbeitet, robust und tut was sie soll. Nur der Griff ist für schwitzene Hände etwas unangenehm.
