The LP Wood Clave Pair LP261 produces the fundamental rhythmic pattern of Afro-Cuban music -- the clave -- with the crisp, penetrating tone that the music demands. The resonator clave acts as both a striker and a soundbox, held loosely in a cupped hand to maximize the projection and ring of each note. The LP261 pair is crafted from quality wood that produces a bright, cutting sound with natural sustain.

Claves are deceptively simple instruments whose mastery reveals real depth. Getting a consistent, musical tone from a pair of claves requires attention to grip, stroke, and the angle of impact -- the LP261 rewards that attention with a satisfying, musical response. Used in everything from Afro-Cuban son to contemporary jazz to pop recordings, claves are foundational percussion tools that belong in every percussionist's bag.
