Meinl Percussion Turbo Guiro with Scraper, Three Sound Zones — NOT Made in China — for Latin American Music, 2-Year Warranty (GU9)

I'm a big fan. Sounds better than the LP Super Guiro. Although you can't see it in the picture, the underside has 2 more scraping zones with different spacing between the ridges. One zone has 3/4" spaces like an old fashion gourd guiro which makes the scrapes sound lower in pitch and more resonant. The other has tightly packed small ridges for a quieter, shorter, and higher pitched sound. The regular top scraping zone has deep ridges that are packed slightly closer together than the LP Super Guiro. The ridge spacing combined with the narrower chamber make this Guiro louder, more focused, and less plastic-soundi g than the LP. Highly recommended!

I grew up playing the wood fish sort of guiro. Smooth sound but not usually loud enough. This one can be loud. Or not loud. Has different grids to play on. Has different strikers. No issues with materials or workmanship I can see. Didn't think I would like it so much being plastic but it's a better musical instrument than the old wood ones and I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Excelent Product.I would recommend it.

Nice large and loud guiro. Works as advertised so I gave it a 4. In order to for me to give it a 5, I would want it to look and feel and sound more organic like a high quality wooden guiro. Those can sometimes not be loud enough for a live setting though.

Weird, uncomfortable finger-hole placement. But the LP version seems to be the same. Other than that, fine.

Better than expected this Guiro have three different areas, main one in the front and two in the back to play along any kind of latin music...love it!

Not gonna lie, its better than it's competitor, Meinl is starting to become my favorite brand

One more thing I have to round up my Latin music gear; great!
