What I say in the title is not an exaggeration. Actually, in terms of its materials and finish, it is quite well made and designed. It should also be noted that its sound is unique and quite useful in terms of Latin music and jazz, it works for everything you can imagine.

I was looking for a shaker to use for recording. Not having access to shakers to try out, I resorted to online videos and reviews. Some of the shakers I listened to were a bit harsh, sounding more like maracas. I wanted something with a softer sound (sand vs. beads). The reviews of the Black (Medium Soft) Meinl Luis Conte shaker convinced me to give it a try. It was on backorder from Sweetwater but their online system allowed me to request notification when it became available. I eventually received an email and purchased it right away. This is exactly what I was hoping for from a shaker. The sound fits nicely into the background without being intrusive or overly loud/harsh. I could see using it for low-level acoustic gigs. For amplified music, I would likely go with a different model.

If you can"t hear this shaker before you buy-that is why I write this review. I am a drummer but do some gigs with a Cajon and wanted a shaker that wasn"t overpowering yet still had some crisp to it. I played this first and tried the others however for all around I love this one. (I have used a lot of shakers-for some studio work you might want the loudest (cleanest) of this series). For live in a room keeping a steady rhythm this is on par. I love it.
