Latin Percussion Shekeres, Jim Greiner is highly respected as a percussion performer and educator. He's dedicated himself to promoting the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of playing percussion to people from all walks of life. Now you can add "designer" to Jim's list of credits, thanks to the introduction of LP's Jim Greiner Shekere. Jim's namesake shekere combines old- and new-world technology to create an original version of this popular West African instrument that's amazingly musical while being extremely player-friendly. It's designed to offer the traditional sound and feel of the relatively fragile gourd-based shekere, but with the durability of contemporary materials. The shell of the Jim Greiner Shekere is slightly smaller overall than that of LP's standard model. This improved size and shape was created by digitally matching an original organic gourd hand-selected by Jim, and then further tailoring all the dimensions for optimal feel, balance, projection
