Q: How do I play the Jim Greiner Pro Shekere to get different sounds?

You can create a wide range of sounds by shaking, twisting, and striking the shekere. Shaking it produces a continuous rattle, while twisting creates a "swish" sound. You can also strike the bottom of the shekere with your hand for a deeper tone, or rotate it to make the beads brush against the body. Experiment with different techniques to find your unique rhythmic voice.

Modern Make with a Classic Sound

Percussion clinician Jim Greiner helped LP design a bold modern shekere with the balance, projection, and sound of antiquity. They started by tailoring every dimension of the fiberglass body to digitally match a traditional gourd shekere. The result is a great-playing instrument that's made to withstand slaps, cracks, and drops much better than organic ones. Likewise, Jim and LP chose Jenigor plastic for the beads - the same exclusive plastic used in LP's Jam Blocks - for its cutting attack and unbreakable durability. If you're interested in adding world rhythms to your ensemble, Sweetwater percussionists recommend the Jim Greiner Pro Shekere.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
