Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Natural Multi-Wood Construction: Crafted with a strong, ergonomic poplar handle fused to a highly resonant birch wood shaker shell.
• Bright Acoustic Response: Filled with high-density beads that collide against the interior hardwood walls to project a sharp, clear, and driving rattle.
• Compact 16 cm Layout: At 16 cm (6.3") in length, their downsized footprint makes them highly agile for fast tempos and perfect for smaller hands.
• Vibrant Flower Finish: Coated in a high-gloss festive red lacquer accented by a traditional hand-painted floral motif layout.
• Broad Percussive Versatility: An excellent hand tool choice for Latin arrangements, primary school music education, therapeutic drum circles, and home studio tracking.

Why Add the Stagg MRW-16 to Your Gear Bag?

When your arrangement needs a lively, steady groove that won't overwhelm the vocal mix, the Stagg MRW-16 pair steps up perfectly. The premium poplar-and-birch build yields a distinctly warm, organic timbre that synthetic plastic shakers simply cannot replicate. Lightweight and counterbalanced to prevent wrist strain, these maracas respond immediately to micro-movements, providing full dynamic control over your percussive textures.
