Blackwood Clave. Handmade. Range # 1. Models A and B.
This range of handmade clave, or tapping sticks from the idiophone family of percussion instruments, is handmade from Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon). The 'A' Models are of plain design whilst the 'B' models have the added function of a 'washboard' for a secondary sound effect.
